Overview
Something sparked my interest in the Galileo Pendulum Clock and I had a look on-line, found some photos, and decided to have a go at designing and making a 3D printed version. This is the result. This is not an easy project to make because many of the parts must be printed flat, or close to it. Also it is fairly demanding to assemble as all the moving parts have to be able to move freely - but without excessive play. I've uploaded the photos I worked from. Designed in Moi (Moment of Inspiration), simulated in SimLab Composer Mechanical and made in PLA, mostly on an original Ultimaker. A simulation of the escapement mechanism is here: And a video of the finished article in action is here:

Conversion of continuous rotary motion to reciprocating rotary motion via a Pendulum gearThis mechanism converts continuous rotary motion to reciprocating rotary motion. First seen as a simulation example in SimLab Composer Mechanical.
Reciprocating GenevaThis is a model illustrating the conversion of continuous rotary motion into reciprocating indexing motion. It's a fairly complex model with 22 different parts and quite a few M3 x 10mm long button head cap screws. I used about 34.
