3D model description

This is my caged escapement desk toy. Also known as a Tourbillon or a watch mechanism, this assembly is meant for those who have a true passion for engineering, mechanisms, or watches!

It is well balance and calibrated mechanism with up to a full 1-minute ticking run time if manufactured precisely with a well calibrated printer.

Besides the 3D printed parts, you will need:
5x - 2mm x 22mm dowel pins
1x - 608zz ball bearing (clean and free rotating)
Super Glue
2.0mm and 2.1mm drill bit - tolerances are tight for a well balanced assembly.

3D printing settings

Support as needed (Bearing Cage, Pallet Fork)
Any infill percentage above 25% is fine because most of the parts have little to no infill anyways.

Try to eliminate elephants foot whatever way you can!
