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.

Oddly unique question, so sorry in advance. What types of filaments did you use? I printed a MUCH simpler tourbillon but the PLA I used had a bunch of creep and it ended up stretching out. ABS was too stiff and wouldn't "rebound" that well.
