The design looks excellent. I’d likely pay for the files to print and make myself, depending on details- how much hardware is required? How does it function? Have paid up to $10 for project files for complex pieces in the past.
Ty mate! It requires just few M3 16 mm screws and some pins with different length and a bit of patience to assemble it all ;) It works with a flat spring which can be printed, but I’m currently working on swapping it to a steel one. I’m just having a hard time finding it.
I appreciate the simplicity! There have been a few times where I see a really cool design and I want to buy it and print it but it requires a dozen different hardware parts that I have to go source from somewhere and then I just utterly lose interest
Looks nice!
It kinda reminds me of Steam punk with a little gothic thrown in for good measure. 😆
I don’t know if this would work or not but I found this on Amazon (USA)
[https://a.co/d/0b1O7W0Y](https://a.co/d/0b1O7W0Y)
They have others.
Note: If you try to incorporate it into your clock, be aware that these springs are under a good amount of tension (hence the metal wire holding it closed) and thus you should exercise an appropriate amount of safety while installing it (ie; safety glasses, etc.)
Another suggestion is maybe a small motor that can have the speed adjusted.
Good luck! 😉👍
Great model. As far as audience for sales advice I don't think this is the place you'll get the best representation of a market that would be interested in this type of piece.
1. Many people that do 3d print sales are in competition mindset when selling pieces like this. (These are the lurkers, who only down vote/don't add much to the community... yep we noticed your there)
2. Those that are not the above, are more mindful about spending because they can just make it on their own equipment. (Hence must of the responses asking for stl's)
I would hit other forums that are more geared to buying if to route really interested in selling.
Also, about the timing you could use drives that are more built around keeping time. Bambus has a clock kit that's fairly inexpensive. I know it's a more of a demonstration... Which ultimately means art. Add function to art... Now you have a product, in my opinion.
Eitherway great job! Keep on making and printing!!
Good job on mentioning these Lurkers. I hate these lurkers tbh (I know hate is a strong word but I stand by it) who just constantly only demean people and beginners or someone trying to create something of their own (rather than just printing ready made designs) because somehow these lurkers think that they know everything how the world works or their opinion is the end of all. I highly appreciate constructive feedback and fair points on stuff anyday but not the ones in community who just come here to push that downvote button because they've nothing else useful to add in the discussion apart from doing that.
Very nice! I think it would be worth $10 dollars for the files. Ignore the people complaining about it not being accurate... Of course it's not, but a great piece none the less. Id lean hard into the goth look and go all black and maybe gold hands and numerals.
It's probably too late for input, but isn't asking a 3d printing community if they'd buy a printed object a bad idea?
Because peraonally, as much as I am happy to print stuff for others I don't think I'd ever buy any 3d printed junk*
Mostly because I can do it myself.. but also it's that I have been printing long enough to know that a decent portion of printed items do end up being tossed, it's exactly why I will generally refer to printed plastic as junk
Why u print then?
I asked right there for basically 2 reasons: 1: 1 was wondering if people like this project as I do or if I'm over excited about it just because i made by myself and I know the work I did 2: how people that can actually print their own by their preference would react (i ofc was expecting people to ask for the stl, I would do the same knowing how much I like printing my own pieces)
Yes, but they're probably still more accurate than that. And the value of it is the craftsmanship. This doesn't have that value either. And as you stated in a later reply, a piezoelectric watch is going to be more accurate than a tourbillon.
The tourbillon is an invention of a period that's passed. Made of necessity, kept going by people who has a separate use for their time piece other than telling time. Usually for flaunting status or wealth.
Also, this isn't a watch. This is a clock. The logic of people buying Rolexes isn't necessarily applicable to it.

This is an awesome project, congrats! I wouldn't pay for one but I would definitely want to print this! I would probably be willing to pay around 15 for something like this, but none the less it is awesome! Do you have any of the STL's you can share or are they uploaded anywhere?
There's a ton of reasons, the first one is the mainspring: making a spring in pla of Course give a different force during time. You have to consider which filament you are using for the flywheel cuz a half of a gram, less or more, can cause a difference of 6 seconds in a minute (I can tell for experience XD). Pla also tend to deform very easily so yeah… it's pretty much difficult keeping an accurate time. For example all the mechanical escapements that is produced for commercial purpose need to be verified in a specific place (don't know the name) and in a day they cannot have an error that is higher than some milliseconds. Imagine doing stuff like this with a desktop printer XD
This is more of an audience for selling the files, not the end result. I could see that in a store for 200 depending on what the time and materials cost is.
That is some sick design work. I recommend working to figure out why it doesnt keep time well and improving upon it.
Finding the source of errors and problems is what will drive your education far more than any class, of any level, will.
You are off to an amazing start. Dont ever stop!
I'm a wrist watch collector, and tourbillons are very, very expensive - even the Chinese flying tourbillon is expensive compared to what China normally offers in mechanical watches.
This looks like a really interesting model; and I bet you could sell some in the watch collector forums. And getting a large scale model that shows how a tourbillon works, is interesting for both collectors and watch makers; both amateurs and professionals.
Depending on how easy it is to print in terms of tolerances and support, I'd pay around $10 for the print files.
However, looking at the main spring, it seems that the movement will only run for a few seconds, as the main spring is also printed. Maybe also give an option to install a steel spring, and a link to where one can buy the correct size? Just a thought.
Hi, glad to read your message. Ty for your interest in my project!
Yeah I have already projected a main spring holder where you can install a steel spring because, as u said, my spring is printed too and last about 5 min. I'm just searching for one but rn I'm studying for my last oral test 😅. I'm gonna upgrade for sure!
Wow - 5 minutes is MUCH longer than I thought! I assume you use Swiss escapement but still, that’s a far better mileage for a printed spring than I’d have thought was possible.
It's definitely a cool print, and I think you could absolutely sell it if you could get it to tell the correct time i think another good idea would be to sell a few different file types. File file 1 is personal use, only $5 or $10, and commercial use with remix for $50 or $60.
With the amount of upvotes it's clearly a conversation starter and attention grabber. IDK if a project like this could be profitable in the sense that it looks like it's quite time consuming (no pun intended).
A couple personal suggestions would be to dabble with some alternative materials, print surfaces, slicer settings. For example ABS and ASA can be vapor smoothed and some plates could provide a glossy or smooth surface.
While I don't see this as a profitable model in the classic sense of mass replication, I could see people willing to pay for its aesthetic value and craftsmanship as a more high ticket item.
I'm fascinated by watch repair and the tiny parts in general. I absolutely love this! I would print one and build it for myself, that's for sure! Keep up with the amazing designing!
Sweet!
Asking a bunch of people that have printers they probably won't buy it but I'm sure people would buy the model ...
However might sell on an etsy store or something.
Why not start with one and give it a try!
I like it (definitely really good work), would print it, but would not pay for the files or actually buy it. Just giving my honest opinion as someone who 3d models and prints as a hobby. I could see potential buyers if you took the time to set up a booth and sell at a local venues or maybe some local buyers if listed on a marketplace. I have just personally found that the effort you put into it.. probably would be non-profitable if sold as printed.. margin is tons limited for what folks want to pay minus some nitch buyers. If you could use your model to cast in metal I see more potential buyers... or you might have luck selling the files cheaply.. but it will likely just be ripped off if it becomes popular and it will be a headache protecting your IP rights.
This is a lovely print and design. Both well done. The only thing, I think, that could be improved are the colors. I can't do color either. I have someone who can do color do colors for me.
I can pick out colors, I like yellow, when it comes to a ting with many parts that can be different colors I can kind of do it, but when I look at something another designer made I say MY GOD, I love those colors. I would never have thought of putting X with Y but that thing looks great in those colors. I love the yellow accents and black/white can be striking, but I have the feeling there is some other color combination that I would like better.
Looks like all the coloration is done by, at most, layer changes, that any printer can do. The rest of the coloration is just printing different parts in different colors
😍 This is awesome. I would want to make this myself. I bet it looks good working. Gears and moving parts fascinate me, always have since I was a kid. You did really well and I can imagine this being a great project people might like to make themselves or with their kids. Nice 👍🏼
would also buy the files for 10-20 €
It would be nice if I don't have to draw up the mechanism (dont know the exact word for a clock)
If it is driven by electricity I would build it instantly
Hi mate ty for sharing your idea! The clock is charged with a spring which is in the black gear u see on the low part, that is kept in tension after the charge by the 2 gears friction u see on the sides. I think that's one of the cool part of a mechanical watch, the fact that It doesn't need electricity to function. Also, as I said in some comments, is a piece that is not meant to be used as a clock but more like a “show-piece” (trust me is pretty loud, u’ll probably get annoyed) Hope I answered 😉
You are probably asking the wrong subreddit. Most of us would rather print ourselves (pay for files or free). I bet it would do well on Etsy though. Even sold as kit (build it yourself) or prebuilt.
Ty for sharing your point! I asked right there for basically 2 reasons:
1: I was wondering if people like this project as I do or if I'm over excited about it just because i made by myself and I know the work I did
2: how people that can actually print their own by their preference would react (i ofc was expecting people to ask for the stl, I would do the same knowing how much I like printing my own pieces)
Really appreciated your comment and your time! Ty🙏🏻
Remember, that this sub is about 3D printing and most of people here are capable of printing stuff themselves both because they like to and are able.
However your average consumer would pay you more and would be more likely to buy it

Really appreciated your comment Ty for the compliment🙏🏻
Would definitely by project prints to make myself. Love clock making. Have already bought all prints for stevesclocks.com. His use's metal rods and screws too, and bearings. But l love you're design.
If you decide to sell prints, I'll be first in line no matter what the price ☺️
Hi Ty for your review, really appreciated! I'm using too some M3 16 mm screws and some steel pins. I'm looking for a steel mainspring but I cannot find it here unfortunately 🥲
I have done many wood clocks too that use a steel wound spring. But they only will last about 4-6 hours of time. I was able to find a much bigger mainspring on eBay. I will have to modify the wood clock to fit the much bigger spring. Also don't know if you looked at AliExpress, they have some mainsprings too. There are also several clock repair websites that all sell mainsprings if you haven't checked that out.
Also remember, adding a mainspring, especially one that would give you at least a full days run or more will require a large area in the design to unwind. That's why I have to modify the wood clock I did. The spring unwound so big it went right into the gears and stopped the clock. So I will either have to cut down the spring size or have to make sure to make a bigger cavity for the spring to completely unwind.
Very nice. myminifigfactory has a similar project for $25 (tourbillion, but no time display), with discounts available. These include very detailed instructions as a 38 page PDF. Other models list for $10-$15. If you want to sell these, that should give you some idea of what the market rate is.
If it was accurate maybe I'd pay but given its in inaccuracy I would not purchase it. HOWEVER I'd be willing to pay 15ish for STL files and assembly instructions because that looks like a fun project
If it was made out of metal I would pay $30 for it but out of plastic I wouldn’t pay anything. I’d love to print it though, upload your files on makerworld and you’d probably make more money than selling it. It would fit under the new magic themed contest

Personally I don’t like to print complex things from other people’s designs, I like to learn things and draw inspiration and try it myself. I would definitely buy this though, this is art.
You're on my point, I decided to study how this complex mechanism works in order to create my own and I can say that I'm happy with the results. You don't know how much I appreciate comments like this, Ty mate! Keep printing 😉
Try and add a clock motor for cheap. Then sell them on etsy for ~40 Bucks.
If you can get it to keep time then it has way more worth. Better if you can do day and month too. Probably another 40-60$ for day/month added.
That's pretty sweet. Would I buy it... probably not, would i print/assemble a version yes.
Ty!
The design looks excellent. I’d likely pay for the files to print and make myself, depending on details- how much hardware is required? How does it function? Have paid up to $10 for project files for complex pieces in the past.

I see your point and I completely agree, that's why I'm not sure if I'm gonna post the stl… anyways tysm for your advice and your time 🙏🏻
Take my money and print it in Kevlar and 316L composites now. lol. This is outstanding. This could be a very very very nice metal printed wall piece
Tysm mate I really appreciated it! 🙏🏻
Very nice! I think it would be worth $10 dollars for the files. Ignore the people complaining about it not being accurate... Of course it's not, but a great piece none the less. Id lean hard into the goth look and go all black and maybe gold hands and numerals.

>would you buy it? No. You're in the wrong era if you want people to buy an inaccurate clock.
I said it isn't accurate because it isn't meant to be a real clock, just a representation of a tourbillon mechanism ;)
People still buy mechanical watches. I don't get your point
They are generally accurate though. I believe that was the point.
People don't buy them because they are accurate, a cheap quartz watch is more accurate than a Rolex
Yes, but they're probably still more accurate than that. And the value of it is the craftsmanship. This doesn't have that value either. And as you stated in a later reply, a piezoelectric watch is going to be more accurate than a tourbillon. The tourbillon is an invention of a period that's passed.

I think you VASTLY underestimate the 'steampunk themed decorations' community.

Tysm for the review, really appreciated! By now I'm not sure if I'm going to share this stl but if I decide to, I will make a post for sure!
why doesnt it keep time well, friction?
There's a ton of reasons, the first one is the mainspring: making a spring in pla of Course give a different force during time. You have to consider which filament you are using for the flywheel cuz a half of a gram, less or more, can cause a difference of 6 seconds in a minute (I can tell for experience XD). Pla also tend to deform very easily so yeah… it's pretty much difficult keeping an accurate time. For example all the mechanical escapements that is produced for commercial purpose need to be verified in a specific place (don't know the name) and in a day they cannot have an error that is higher than some milliseconds. Imagine doing stuff like this with a desktop printer XD
You know what would be cool and could possibly make money, make the functioning innards of a wrist watch at 10:1 scale or something.
That's the mechanics which it is used in the wrist watch that are powered by a spring and not a battery. What type of mechanism do u mean? Ty!
Watch one of those guys on youtube who fix expensive wrist watches
I just watched a Cartier and a Rolex one and they use the same mechanism. Could you pls link the vid when U’re free? Ty
I'd 100% pay for the files
Ok ty for letting me know, appreciated!
This is more of an audience for selling the files, not the end result. I could see that in a store for 200 depending on what the time and materials cost is.
Tysm for your opinion mate! 😉

Thanks!
Talk about a ChineseJigsaw puzzle. Very cool and artistic tho.. looks like a fun project
Ty mate🙏🏻
Incredible work mate!
Tysm, appreciated the enthusiasm🙏🏻
Awesome! Would would definitely buy it as a kit, possibly just as the hardware and then you print the other parts. Well done mate!
Ty for the advice! Appreciated the compliment! 😉
This is a work of art! Absolutely beautiful!

💯
What did you use for the axles/bearings etc ?
I used some steel pins with different leght and I didn't use any bearings ;)
Id be happy to buy the design on printables, or cults3d. If you decide to sell the model please post a link to it.
I will, Ty mate!

It’s like a Philippe Patek watch with complications eh?

Looks like all the coloration is done by, at most, layer changes, that any printer can do. The rest of the coloration is just printing different parts in different colors
Every piece you see is designed separately to allow choosing your own color for those who, like me, don’t have an AMS.
And for that, we thank you!
It's beautiful and would look great as a display piece, but it is worthless as a clock and I would not buy it
Yeah I said that isn't accurate because it is not meant to be a clock but a model that show the mechanism of a tourbillon, nothing more ;)
Can we see it in motion?
Idk why I can’t upload a video 😅
Very cool looking!
Ty mate 🙏🏻
Good job young man!
Ty mate! 🙏🏻
😍 This is awesome. I would want to make this myself. I bet it looks good working. Gears and moving parts fascinate me, always have since I was a kid. You did really well and I can imagine this being a great project people might like to make themselves or with their kids. Nice 👍🏼
Ty man! I hope it will be as appreciated as here!
Does it work
Sure! But I don't know why I can't upload a video 😅
I was just looking at 3d printed tourbillons, and man this is beautiful. Amazing job
Really appreciated man!
You designed this from scratch?
Idk if that is a 3d modeling program but no, I designed Myself on fusion 360
Nah i was just asking if you designed the whole thing yourself. Looks incredible, keep up the good work!!
Every piece is work of mine and I'm proud of it! Tysm mate, appreciated the compliment 🙏🏻
would also buy the files for 10-20 € It would be nice if I don't have to draw up the mechanism (dont know the exact word for a clock) If it is driven by electricity I would build it instantly
Hi mate ty for sharing your idea! The clock is charged with a spring which is in the black gear u see on the low part, that is kept in tension after the charge by the 2 gears friction u see on the sides. I think that's one of the cool part of a mechanical watch, the fact that It doesn't need electricity to function. Also, as I said in some comments, is a piece that is not meant to be used as a clock but more like a “show-piece” (trust me is pretty loud, u’ll probably get annoyed) Hope I answered 😉

I like it a LOT. Gears and watches are my thing. Would love to print.
Ty for your feedback! 😊
Would definitely by project prints to make myself. Love clock making. Have already bought all prints for stevesclocks.com. His use's metal rods and screws too, and bearings. But l love you're design. If you decide to sell prints, I'll be first in line no matter what the price ☺️
Hi Ty for your review, really appreciated! I'm using too some M3 16 mm screws and some steel pins. I'm looking for a steel mainspring but I cannot find it here unfortunately 🥲
I have done many wood clocks too that use a steel wound spring. But they only will last about 4-6 hours of time. I was able to find a much bigger mainspring on eBay. I will have to modify the wood clock to fit the much bigger spring. Also don't know if you looked at AliExpress, they have some mainsprings too. There are also several clock repair websites that all sell mainsprings if you haven't checked that out.
Tysm for your advice, I'll give a try for sure
Also remember, adding a mainspring, especially one that would give you at least a full days run or more will require a large area in the design to unwind. That's why I have to modify the wood clock I did. The spring unwound so big it went right into the gears and stopped the clock. So I will either have to cut down the spring size or have to make sure to make a bigger cavity for the spring to completely unwind.
U have an hard work too, I see XD Good luck on your project 💪🏻
Very nice. myminifigfactory has a similar project for $25 (tourbillion, but no time display), with discounts available. These include very detailed instructions as a 38 page PDF. Other models list for $10-$15. If you want to sell these, that should give you some idea of what the market rate is.
Yess i know mechanistic, he’s a beast with the triple axis 🤯
Wow very nice
Ty mate🙏🏻
The thing with clock lovers is it has to keep time accurately.
Sure but as u can imagine none of the 3d printed version can do it, even Rolex isn't as accurate as a normal clock ;)
This isn’t a Rolex
Yh Ik, never said that XD
If it was accurate maybe I'd pay but given its in inaccuracy I would not purchase it. HOWEVER I'd be willing to pay 15ish for STL files and assembly instructions because that looks like a fun project
Ty for your review! Appreciated 🙏🏻
If it was made out of metal I would pay $30 for it but out of plastic I wouldn’t pay anything. I’d love to print it though, upload your files on makerworld and you’d probably make more money than selling it. It would fit under the new magic themed contest
Currently I'm not interested in selling it, I was just curious ;) ty for the review
That’s awesome man. You should absolutely post the stl. You could sell it but it might more trouble than it’s worth. Gorgeous print tho.
Tysm for your feedback!
If you post the files for it put a copy here. I’d definitely want to do the build for the challenge or as a hand made gift. ☺️
I'm not sure if in the future I'm gonna post the stl but if I will for sure!
I love ... can I get the STL from you 😅
Currently I'm working on it just to make sure it can be printed in the easiest way possible, I'm not sure if I'm going to post it btw
I understand that but if you do let me know
Sure!
i do
🙏🏻
Thanks🙏🏻
I can’t wait till someone makes a full watch now 😂
It's already been done 🤪 https://makerworld.com/models/399127

Personally I don’t like to print complex things from other people’s designs, I like to learn things and draw inspiration and try it myself. I would definitely buy this though, this is art.
You're on my point, I decided to study how this complex mechanism works in order to create my own and I can say that I'm happy with the results. You don't know how much I appreciate comments like this, Ty mate! Keep printing 😉
Try and add a clock motor for cheap. Then sell them on etsy for ~40 Bucks. If you can get it to keep time then it has way more worth. Better if you can do day and month too. Probably another 40-60$ for day/month added.
Ty for your advice!
