Parts list

The pendulum from j0z's original design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2917826
The stand also from his design or if you need the two-part version to fit your print bed like I did you can find it at lifay64's remix here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3013219
2x 608 bearings
1ft string
1x M10-1.50 bolt with two nuts

Gear_With_Keyway

Resolution: .3
Infill: 50%
Improvements from original design:
Gear is keyed for use with a separate axle and has been scaled to print without binding the pendulum tips

TopPin_With_Keyway

Resolution: .3
Infill: 100%
This is an original part to match the keyway on the remixed gear, the pin has a hole allowing for thread to be wound without the need for glue. Pinch fit in 608 bearing
For best results, print with the keyway portion not touching the build plate, this should be the default orientation when loading the stl

WeightNut

Resolution: .15
Infill: 100%
Supports: Yes
This is an original part, it allows a m10-1.5 bolt to be used as a weight for this clock

BottomPin

Resolution: .3
Infill: 100%
Improvements from original design:
Pin is pinch fit into the 608 bearing, spacer is built in
For best results, print with the smaller diameter end touching the build plate, this should be the default orientation when loading the stl

RearBaseSupport_With_Passthrough

Resolution: .3
Infill: 30%
This is a remixed slice off the original base, prevents the clock from tipping when glued to the rear of the clock. The hole allows for the weight to pass through so the clock will run as long as your string is. Use superglue or similar to adhere to rear of stand

RearBaseSupport_Without_Passthrough

Resolution: .3
Infill: 30%
Same as above but without hole, more of a symmetrical look if that's your thing
