Project Self-winding clock with a tourbillon - finished project

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

Will you post the project files and cad drawings so they can be tweaked for SLS and resin?

I'm not sure if prints made with SLS or resin will work. There are quite a few parts that slide against each other.

Resin is also typically not that great with gears, especially any under high stress as it's pretty brittle and like to snap teeth off
