My latest Crazy Gear - Medium
I have printed over 10 of the Crazy Gear clocks, each one a little different. The latest one turned out to be the best yet.
I have modified the original design to add a front plate that can be customized, and I often customize the face of the clock. I also combined the front and back frames into a single piece and added a brace at the top which uses a 3mm threaded rod to connect them. I have two Rat Rig printers which allow up to a 500mm build plate.
Steve has been a great help in assisting with ideas and helping me with the mods.
I strongly suggest purchasing the kits from him, it makes the assembly so much easier.
I printed this one for one of my Nurse Practitioner who wanted it for her two sons.

Evolution of the mods
Thanks Steve for the message. My first one will be an attempt at getting it put together and a learning experience. I'm printing the frame in brown and the gears in silver. The frame is printing on my Bambu X1C and is amazing the time difference with your listed times and the times it does, 1/2 to 1/3 the time and the parts look great. The gears are printing on the Rat Rig, which is set up much slower, but they come out great. I ordered the 623RS bearings and click pen springs from Amazon. Was not sure about the springs, so measured some from the Crazy Gear Clock and ordered the 30mm long ones. You might put a link to what you use or I'm sure you will include them in the kits if you sell those. If you sell kits, include extras, as the small parts seem to jump off the work bench and travel to alternate universes.
I'm still recovering from my treatments, so moving slow but hope to start assembly Monday or Tuesday.
