Steve, My SP3 runs beautifully but only has a run time of 4 days 15 hours and 35 minutes. It is set about 50mm higher than recommended with a full length fall stopping about 10mm from the floor. It keeps perfect time.
An ideas on why it only runs for 4 1/2 days. Thanks Brett
Thanks Steve, will check out the new design. So in the end I was worried about run time for no reason 😀
The original design has a runtime of around 4 days, which is still fairly decent relative to most other 3D printed clocks.
SP3 has an update labeled as SP3B with a runtime of nearly 8 days. It uses a more efficient gear tooth profile to allow it to run longer. It can be downloaded from the same area as SP3 as long as you can still log into MyMiniFactory. It is a nearly complete upgrade, so you may end up printing almost everything over. You will end up with a second clock. It will be more reliable even with the longer runtime.
