This is a fully functioning 3D printed grandfather clock.  Using mainly 3D printed parts, this clock was specifically engineered to be assembled in minutes, and can run for over 6 days on a single winding. With a little bit of tuning, it can accurate keep time with that classic tick-tock sound.

The video below shows how easily this clock can be assembled 

**The STL File:**

Prints on all standard 3d printers without supports, requires the following additional parts to assemble:

This is one of my all time favourites- instead of a pendulum, this escapement uses a ball bearing rolling along a track to keep time.  At the end of the track, the escapement hits a trigger which causes the track to slant the other way, starting the cycle again.
