Clock runs but hands don't move...
Afternoon-
I am fairly stumped....I have rebuilt and (I thought) verified everything in my 10 day easy build a couple times, but I can't seem to figure out this issue. All assembled, the pendulum will run for hours and all the gears turn except the ones that actually tell the time. From what I can tell Gear 4b, 5, and 6 do not move. I can't tell where the energy seems to be disappearing. I am currently printing the updated gears 3 and 4 to install, so I'll have the clock back apart in a bit, any quick thoughts on what I might be a culprit that keeps my clock from telling the time?
Thanks

Thank you for the info Steve-
That was exactly where the issue seems to have been. There was too much friction I believe and it was keeping the things from moving and indicating time. I got the updated gears installed and made sure there everything spun freely and re-assembled. Has been running for a few hours now and keeping pretty decent time. Will get to tuning it soon.
