Rolling Ball Clock Debug
There are still a few lingering problems with the files released for the rolling ball clock. A system crash apparently lost a release after test objects were printed for my prototype clock. The edits are not present in CAD even though I have physical copies. The changes are minor and should be easy to replicate. It may take a 2-3 days to make sure they are absolutely correct this time. Please be patient.
Changes have already been made to the toggle_lever, ball_drop9, and the front dial.
The remaining changes involve spacing between gears, specifically gear2 and gear3 binding within the frame. This was an edit to add more clearance around the pendulum. The posts built into frame_g1 are too tall in the released version compared to gears 2/3. The edit should only affect a few components.
Please hold off on printing anything related to frame_G and any components in the gears subdirectory. Anything else related to the ball drop, ball ramps, or frame_A through frame_F should be OK to print if you want to get started with the print.
Please be patient and thanks for understanding,
Steve
I just released an updated set of files to MyMiniFactory on July 25. As far as I can tell, this version fixes all known bugs. Changes were made to increase clearances in the frame_g columns and the gear 8 center shaft. An option for a 2.4 day runtime was also added since it has proven to be stable in my clock.
