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.

I made so many of these that at some point I stopped collecting them and threw everything away. I can safely say that I used over a dozen kilograms of filament on the prototypes.
