Small 8 Day clock

By swinging the pendulum like the other models of yours that I have purchased, the mechanism should be activated, I didn't understand your question...

What is the escapement doing? Is it adding any energy to the pendulum? Does it move quickly when the pallet moves past the escapement teeth?

It is OK to add more weight. Start by connecting the weight directly to the cord without using the pulley, effectively doubling the drive weight.

I think you have built a few of my other clocks, so I assume you know how to set the beat. It is basically balancing the operation of the pendulum from left to right.

Manually move the pendulum slowly to the left and watch where the escapement ticks. Move the pendulum to the right and watch where it ticks. Both sides should be approximately at the same angle. The beat can be adjusted by tilting how the clock hangs on the wall.

I have a Prusa mini

I have no idea why the same crack would appear twice at the same spot.

The model looks good. It uses the same wall thickness that I have been using for all my clocks. Check the slicer layer by layer. There should be four or more walls all the way to the top of the model when using an 0.4mm nozzle. My only suggestions are generic things that you may have already tried. Slice the model again at a different position on the plate. Do a cold pull or replace the nozzle in case there is a partial clog. Increase the temperature 5-10 degrees. Reduce print speed. Reduce the layer height. Switch between classic and Arachne slicing, although this model should work well with either one. Etc.

ok thanks Steve, I'll try to follow some of your advice, especially the temperature, good advice. Thank you.

sorry I forgot the picture

That portion is intended to be a tight fit. It usually comes togetherr more than that, but what I see is perfectly functional.

5 perimeters for gear8 and 4 perimeters for everything else. Nothing else matters.

I printed the three rods you have in the file except the two optional pieces but I see that only one part of the center rod pendulum piece fits well with the top pendulum rod, the other end of the center rod pendulum with the lower rod doesn't do it, they don't fit together well, I've tried various pieces I don't understand why....

I will add a small wall plate for the bottom standoffs when I get a chance.

A brim is an extended first layer used to help keep parts stuck to the bed while printing. It is only needed on large parts if you have trouble keeping the corners attached. The default printer heat settings and a clean build plate are often good enough to print without a brim.

Google translate calls it "orlo".

a ok did you mean the Brim, usually in the setting what do you put Brim only external or also internal?

It should only need an external brim.

Mine uses just under 3kg to run reliably.

OK danke.
