Description
Small improvements that I found helped with RapidMonster's model: Geneva_Driven - Shortened so it does not protrude past the Central Gear. This stops looser bearings from popping out during assembly on a flat surface. The hole for the screw head is larger for the screws that I'm using. Note: If you are finding it hard to push-fit these in the bearings you can temporarily use the CentralGearRetainer as a spacer/washer then use a nut and a longer screw to pull the part into the bearing. Clock MSpacer - Use a 3x18mm screw. Taller so reducing the chances of numbers catching gear face. 3mm hole at the top to help to centre screw. Flange help to keep numbers level Extractor - Used during disassembly of clock. Use it to punch out plastic stuck in the centre of a bearing (you'll also need a hammer! and a piece of wood with a small hole in it for the bearing to rest on ;-)) My other assembly tips: The central hole can be cut using small wire cutters If you have reused the original face and removed the lettering using acetate. Cut a hole in the face sticker for the central geneva gear this will help the gear sit flatter and stop plastic from getting stuck behind the sticker when you drill Assemble one set of gears at a time. Make sure each runs smoothly before moving on. For slightly loose bearings - use a small piece of electrical tape stuck to the side of the hole as a shim to keep bearings in place.
