Just building my second clock, completed large moon phase, and building small pendulum (SP05B), and noticed in the instructions on page 45, you indicate to use 3” 3mm rod for pallet assembly, that should be 3 1/2” rod surely, also says 323 bearing instead of 623 bearings

This one was actuallly printed last year; didnt have time to hang it
Color schemes copyrights belong to my daughers, it was a teamwork :)
Happy New Year!
Hi Steve, I am just starting to assemble my SP14 clock. I ordered the parts on Etsy (Thank you!)
When I got to page 22 in the assembly guide it mentions a 75mm arbor in the 3mm section but the package from etsy does not contain it, it does look like there is an extra 75mm piano wire size is that what should be used instead. This might become clearer later but wanted to ask :) Thanks! Herbert
Hi Herbert,
Sorry for the missing part. Another builder also found the same missing part recently. Many kits in my inventory were also missing the 3mm x 3" arbor. I sent replacement parts to all purchasers back to November 1st, but it looks like I need to go back to at least the middle of October. A replacement part will be sent out with tomorrow's mail.
Steve
P.S. You will put the screw half way in the back cover of the Bob and then snap it in the channel opening in the lower pendulum arm and then screw the Bob together.
Thanks for providing the files. Last night I started to model my own version of this in F360. But part way into it I noticed the scale was way off. I seem to recall that Steve models in inches and I usually use mm. I know there's a way to fix it since I've done it in the past. But last night I couldn't recall how. It was late so I decided to get some sleep and get back to it later. Now I can just download your files. Thanks again!
P.S. Hopefully this doesn't appear twice. My 1st attempt disappeared when I tried to add an emoji...???
Yes, the pallet should use a 3.5" arbor and the only bearing size used is 623.
Thanks for catching these typos. I will update my copy and release it at the next convenient time.
