- Retractable badge reel x 1: 4.88 at Walmart
Description
Hello!
I have remixed the Tourbillon Desk Toy by kevinchen1992. (I couldn't submit his Thingiverse link for some reason so here it is: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6792932) It didn't work for some people's printers, so I loosened up the tolerances and now it should work on a wider range of printers.
It uses the internal spring from a retractable badge reel as the mainspring, and can run for around four and a half minutes.

The fusion360 files are available at:

NOTE: Slightly smaller diameter (may need to glue the RachetGear.stl part)
The parts are designed with a reel that winds counter-clockwise (with the open side face-up). For a reel that winds clockwise, you'll need to mirror the entire base, pallet fork, and escape wheel objects:
FrameMiddle.stl
FrameBase.stl
RachetGear.stl
DriveGear.stl
Pallet.stl
EscapeWheel.stl
The files prefixed with "PrintedMainSpring" are for the version that uses a 3d-printed mainspring. This one only runs for around a minute, but doesn't require the badge reel component. Have Fun!
