NB! Only use these files if you are printing using Stereo lithography other wise use the files for Clock 13 FDM.
I have been asked several time if the clocks could be built using 3D printing techniques, and up until now the answer has always been, yes, but the parts are really too big and expensive to build that way.This clock is designed to be built using Stereo lithography.The sections have all been reduced to a basic 1.5mm thickness all over.The SLA parts have a total calculated volume of 87cc, and a calculated weight of 104 grams. There is a minimum of metal parts that are needed for strength and function. These are basically the shafts, bearings and the brass weights.The suspension used to hold the pendulum at its top end can be obtained from any clock parts supplier. It is shown here with a multi coloured finish but of course you can apply any finish you think is appropriate. The clock is small as shown here on the background of an A4 sheet.

The design of the clock is based on earlier gear train designs but modified to include the short pendulum. However I have not prototyped this design yet. The design has now been updated at ‘Clock 13 FDM 3D printer’ so if you have a 3D FDM printer then that is the clock for you.
