3D model description

Leonardo Da Vinci was fascinated by the escapement mechanisms that measure time. He studied several of them.

Based on his work, the team uses the laws of motion and a "flying" pendulum escapement to keep accurate time.

The weight of the pendulum acts as the clock's power source.

The kit requires no glue or battery to assemble a fascinating and functional model.

NOTE: I have not printed the whole model, only some parts, but I have the original and the parts are measured with calipers, so I DO NOT GUARANTEE that it will fit everything right, the hardest thing to find is going to be the metal rods,

NOTE 2: In case any part does not fit, let me know and I will modify it in Tinkercad and send it to you.

NOTE 3: Attached is also the PDF to assemble it.

Thickness of metal shafts

26 hex = 3mm

25 x2 = 2mm

15 x1 = 2mm

40x2 = 1.5mm

83x2 = 2mm

110x1 = 3mm

3D printing settings

Preferably print PETG, to make it more consistent, at least the gears, as with PLA they are quite weak.
