Description

.This is an example of a Runaway Escapement Mechanism with are found most windup toys

 

.No glue or non 3d printer parts are needed.

 

.When printing the spring make sure you print it at 100% infill.

 

.Petg is recommended for the spring to make it last longer but isn't necessary; every else can be made from pla

 

.will work without the stand.

 

.I haven't tested scaling but if you do, i wouldn't go under 50%.

Works well. Makes a loud, but not excessive, noise. Winder takes some force to rotate about a half turn to activate.

tining fork fails every time because it starts the exterior shape on layer 2 after doing a small circle for layer 1

Initial thoughts were great, however, I am trying stronger springs as the original failed quite quickly. Second build with better material on the spring worked OK for a short while until the small end of the square drive sheared off, I am thinking of pinning and gluing it back, perhaps edit the design to increase the section of the square and add radius at the base of the square to reduce stress raising effect.
