Having issues


The attached vid explains much of my dilemma. To add, I printed in PLA on a Flashforge AD5X following Steve's print details and guidelines. I welcome any advice. Please be kind. I'm new to this. Thanks!

Update - After my previous message and sanding the gears, I activated the pendulum and left to run some errands. I came home about 4 hours later and the pendulum is STILL swinging with consistent amplitude!! I went ahead and added dry lube to the escapement and pallet gears which seems to have quieted the movement a little.


Question - There's little bit of bounce on the pallet gear as it's meshing with the escapement - probably 40% of the time. It's been like this from the beginning. Is this a problem? It doesn't seem to be impacting the amplitude - or at least it's not doing that now. If you need video, let me know.


Now it's onto adjusting (if need be) for correct time.


Hoping for winner here and even if I'm not there yet, I'm really close. Thanks for your help!
