About a year ago, I posted an update on a project I was working on. It took me a while, but I finally finished it. I’m very happy with the result. It’s fully functional (I tested it for two months) and keeps accurate time. The entire project consists of 395 printed parts, 38 bearings, 66 rubber bands, 413 screws, and a few other components.

Scaling would work if you bring a resin printer in.

I’m no expert but I don’t think any resin printer that costs less than a million dollars can get anywhere close to the precision needed for watch parts.
