New Modern Renaissance Wall Clock - DIY Version: 3D Print Files, Assembly Kit, and Assembly Instructions; Only

$200.00

A fully mechanical clock with a completely original design for all mechanism components. Uniquely engineered with a background of aerospace engineering approaches to design philosophy, it includes a simple precision pendulum escapement and custom involute gear train with separate hour, minute, and second hand faces designed to fully display the mechanical beauty of the mechanism that makes it function.

Depending on the height at which it is mounted on your wall, it will run for 3 to 4 days before needing a rewinding, easily done in seconds with the included crank and embedded ratcheting mechanism. With the pendulum properly & continuously tuned, it can stay accurate within the minute, over a span of several days or even weeks.

The square board is 2 ft. x 2 ft., with a 3 ft. long pendulum. It is very large, designed to be an art piece that is fully functional. Its size alone created many design challenges, which ultimately limited its running duration before rewinding; but I decided it was worth the sacrifice just to see it work and appreciate the beauty of mechanical engineering.

Same Product as the standard New Modern Renaissance Wall Clock, but not assembled, leaving the printing and assembly up to the user as a project.

HOW TO OBTAIN IT:

There is nothing to buy for this version directly from NCL - despite price tag on this page. So do not “add to cart”. Depending on “how DIY” you want to go for this project, you’ll likely only have to spend $150-200 for the DIY Version. Please follow the outline below.
