I present to you the Marine Corps Ring Clock, a true labor of love and innovation. This clock was brought to life through a remarkable collaboration between human creativity and cutting-edge AI technology. Starting from scratch, I designed the clock using Fusion 360 and then 3D-printed, resulting in a high tech and stunning wall clock. The outer ring is illuminated by a strip of sixty neopixels, the numbers have a single neopixel behind each. The engine for this clock is a Arduino Nano and a RTC DS3231 and programed to keep accurate time as well as celebrating the hour by a spinning illumination of the outer ring. At the heart of this design lies the Marine Corps insignia, set against a bold red background that symbolizes unwavering loyalty and pride for my alma mater of the US Marine Corps. The clock stands as a tribute to the noble spirit of service and dedication to one's country. 🇺🇸 Hoppy

Just finished the beautiful Crazy Gear Pendulum clock and have it running flawlessly. I did make one minor change, it is battery orperated. I designed and printed a battery powered weight. I replaced the fish line with a endless loop of 1/8 " ball chain.  The weight is powered by a 1000:1 N20 gear motor to operate a small ball chain sprocket with idlers inside the housing. When the weight hits it's lower limit it activates a rack and pinion that tilts a mercury switch.  That powers the motor and sends the weight to the top limit where the motor is turned off.  I designed a chain sprocket that snapes on to gear 8 (no modifications to that stl file). However, after making a few chain sprockets for gear8 I ended up with a sprocket that was 4.5 inchs in dia. That required that I make a small change to the gear7 ratchet so I could get clearance for the sprocket. All in all I am very happy with my latest pendulum clock. My daughter saw a photo of it and wants me to make one for her. Thank you Steve for your beautiful creations and your acute attention to detail. Leon

After trying many combination of pawls on the electromagnetic clock and not being satisfied with the results.   I came up with the idea as shown on the video.  I redesigned the two pawls and reprinted them. As you can see I added a 3mm screw to each pawl.  The top pawl screw can be adjusted to only allow the pawl to stay engaged in the ratchet wheel for just a portion of pendulum swing and then the pawl disengages.  As the pendulum swings back the top paw can ride on the 3mm screw head of the bottom pawl.  This screw is also adjustable to prevent the top pawl from dropping into the second tooth on the ratchet wheel.  The weight on the bottom pawl is a magnet only because it was the right size and weight.  This weight allows the bottom pawl to pull back the ratchet wheel.  Moving the pendulum by hand, adjust the top screw until the ratchet wheel allows the bottom pawl to drop behind the ratchet wheel tooth.  The amplitude of the pendulum is no longer a problem, low batteries or fresh ones. I have this modification on both of my EM clocks and they are keeping very good time.  Leon
