This is a 3D-printed model of a triple-axis tourbillon, which is based on the tourbillon in a Jacob and Co. Twin Turbo Furious watch. A tourbillon is a mechanism employed to counteract the effects of gravity within a watch. This intricate model includes an escape wheel, triple-axis outer frame, and a base with an integrated motor. It functions on the same fundamental principles as a traditional watch tourbillon.&nbsp;With precise assembly and calibration of the escape wheel, spring, and base drive gear, this tourbillon can smoothly rotate in three axes and maintain accurate timekeeping. The provided print settings in the Triple-axis Tourbillon Model for Kit-007.3mf file are already customized to ensure that all screw holes are clear and ready for assembly.&nbsp;Printed plastic ‘screws’ are printed to scale and used as caps to cover the steel screws that actually hold it together.<a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/2-7S2i6AUyM" rel="nofollow noopener">Here </a>is a real-time video of the tourbillion in action.&nbsp;Note: There are two different designs defined for the Tourbillon: the 3MF version and the STL version.&nbsp;The 3MF (Triple-axis Tourbillon Model for Kit-007.3mf file) version was designed specifically to work with Bambu printers and the Bambu slicer, and uses the Triple-axis Tourbillon Model Hardware Kit motor to drive it. It is a slightly modified version of the original STL tourbillon version. To build the 3MF version you only need to order the <a target="_blank" href="https://shrsl.com/4d484" rel="nofollow noopener">Triple-axis Tourbillon Model Hardware Kit</a>, which provides all the non-printed parts (screws, bearings, shafts cut to length, motor, etc.) needed to build a complete model. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRNbihDXNwE" rel="nofollow noopener">Here </a>is a video of assembling the 3MF version with the Bambu 007 hardware kit. Note that some of the sections in the Furious Build Notes PDF file below also apply to assembling the 3MF version, with the primary difference being the construction and components of the Base and the drive mechanism.&nbsp;The STL (Raw Model Files) version is a set od files that was designed to work with any printer or slicer. It also uses a more complex Arduino controlled stepper motor mechanism to drive it. To build the STL version you can order a kit of all the non-printed parts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.makerrx.com/collections/projectkits/products/twin-turbo-furious-tourbillon-kit" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a>, otherwise you will need to order the parts listed in the Furious Build Notes PDF instructions individually. If you order the STL version of the hardware kit or buy the parts yourself, you will need to program the firmware into the Arduino before it will work. The Furious Build Notes PDF file below, describes the assembly process for the STL version. For some of the larger parts, ‘full’ (e.g., Base Outer Ring.STL) and ‘split’ versions (Base Outer Ring a.STL and Base Outer Ring b.STL) of the same part are included. The ‘full’ parts require at least a 220x220 bed for printing. The ‘split’ parts may be printed separately on a diagonal on a smaller bed, then glued together to form the larger part.&nbsp;The following filaments can be used to create a model that looks like the pictured gold, silver, copper and black version:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://shrsl.com/4cim5" rel="nofollow noopener">PLA Silk Gold</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://shrsl.com/4cim4" rel="nofollow noopener">PLA Silk Silver</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://shrsl.com/4cim3" rel="nofollow noopener">PLA Silk Copper</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://shrsl.com/4cim2" rel="nofollow noopener">PLA Basic Black</a></li></ul>Here is a video of the construction of the 007 kit. And some sections in the Furious Build Notes.PDF file may be useful for constructing the 007 kit.<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHEU9rnnu88"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bHEU9rnnu88" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>&nbsp;Disclaimer: This model is part of the Creator Program, When you purchase the Triple-axis Tourbillon Model Components Kit through the links below, creators may earn an affiliate commission as a reward of their work.
