Large Moon Phase Clock SP14

I'm confused as to which gear 7c_clicks.stl file to print. One is named gear 7c_clicks and the other is gear 7c_clicks_v2.stl

Does it matter which one, or is it better to print the version 2?

Thanks!

V2 should be a better version, or else it wouldn't have been released. I can't see the files right now. It may have added locking tabs to prevent the springs from flying out when you take the ratchet apart. Functionally it is the same with less chance of losing the springs.

I'm pretty new to 3D printing but long time clock maker. I am printing the SP3B clock and have read in the assembly notes that if I want to change the colors of the numbers on the dial I need to pause and reload a different filament at a specific point during the print. The notes say to change the filament at 15.35mm. Unfortunately I'm not aware what that means. I am using a Bambu labs printer (X2D) and Bambu slicer. Can you shed some light on my dilemma?

Thank you for the advice. It worked perfectly and much easier than I anticipated.


SP3B running on 5.5lbs

After my success with the SP2B I wanted to build another clock for a friend so decided to build the SP3B.  I had trouble with the pallet striking the edge of some of the escape wheel teeth, but some filing took care of that over several filing sessions.  I found that a weight of 5.5lbs was about the minimum that would keep it going with some of the teeth dragging along the pallet as I was working on that issue, but it ran great once I had them all 100% clear.  After fixing the escape wheel issue I put together a simple pulley hanger so I could test the clock in 8 day mode before printing the weight shell, and have found to my surprise that it runs very reliably on the same 5.5lbs.  The pendulum swings on average about 1” either side of dead bottom, so 2” swing total. …

It seems like you have everything running great. Not sure why the pendulum and pallet are interfering. Some designs have less clearance than others. I may take a look at it when I get a chance.


That clock has a 24.5" pendulum length measured from the pivot point to the center of mass. This likely gives around 28" to the pointer below the bob. 1" of swing works out to around 2 degrees, which should be enough. It doesn't hurt to add a bit more for additional margin. The frame can easily handle 10 pounds as long as the hanging procedure is followed to keep the top support beam from tilting downward.
