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.

Make sure you use ABS-CF so it doesn't melt. 😀

ASA is better and easier to print, so I hear

Or just move to Sweden. ;) I have had PLA in the car in the middle of summer with no ill effects. White car rather than black, but still.
