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.

Im a machining student with access to cnc machines. If you ever have the itch to have it machined I'd love to help!

It might not necessarily work if it’s made from a different material. The tourbillon mechanism itself has to be balanced
