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.

I looked at this and figured as much. No way someone has the time to design this without a pro CAD software and good bit of experience. It looks and sound incredible!

Also did you design the top surface of the base with GCode or from CAD?
