Absolutely worth the effort. I've made a modification to the drive unit so it now runs on two CR123A
3v lithium batteries which improves the pendulum swing. I also use brass inserts to fix the parts together. Clock has been running for some weeks now and keeps very good time.
As for the Swingtime clock, again well worth the effort. It produces a deep satisfying tick and keeps very good time. The frame benefits from being printed in one piece ( I have a 300 x 300 bed on my printer ), but can be split as can the largest gear.

I am quite happy to help in any way I can just email me bernardmaule851@gmail.com
