3D-printed Watch with Tourbillon - How it's made
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 січ 2016
- This is a mechanical watch with tourbillon driven by a 3d-printed mainspring. The watch has a Swiss lever escapement. The mainspring inside the going barrel keeps the watch running for approximately 30-45 Minutes. Accuracy is roughly one Second deviation within one Minute (depending on print-settings).
The project demonstrates that the 3D-printing technology is developing. Compared with earlier generations of 3d-printers, the process works more reliable and more accurately. However it's still a very advanced project, because printing inaccuracies need to be trimmed manually with some watchmaker skills, or the watch won't tick.
The watch is designed with Autodesk Fusion 360, and printed with Ultimaker 2.

Amazing what 3-D printing can do. Brilliant job, Christoph. We need more innovative minds, much like yours.
This is almost hypnotic! Amazing creation!
Excellent! This really helps to understand the tourbillion, though I will watch more than once to really grasp it. Thanks for you work
This is by far the most impressive 3D printed object I have ever seen. Well done!
Nice watch, it's beautiful to see working.
Your video is very well made with all the informations one could need, good job !
Brilliant idea, brilliant realization and brilliant kindness to share the files! Love it!
UA-cam never fails to impress me, god there are underrated engineers just sharing their knowledge. Good work kind sir.!!
That watch design is awesome. I really enjoyed watching the mail spring expand and contract.
How awesome! The design is excellent, and the fact you share it openly is just superb! Thanks!
Can't wait to get this printed! Thanks so much for posting this!
That's an interesting package you've made. I like how the main features are put together, i checked the files earlier and as is, that's a design that could go in a feature watch too. Really nice.
thanks for sharing your hard work with the world to print out
Amazing work! The way it's designed is really well thought out- thank you for sharing
Thanks for the inspiration. I had given up on the concept of a printed mainspring and had ripped apart a tape measure to use its spring instead. But this proves how effectively it can be printed. I am not making a clock but do need a concentric design similar to this one. I'm making a wind up toy and hope to share a video of it, if I am able to figure it out. Too bad I don't have fusion anymore and am atrocious at using it anyways, but I appreciate your models and will reference your main spring design for my project within my CAD software. Thanks for the help!!! Cheers! :D
Holy cow, this is absolutely incredible. Thanks for this!
Great narrative of how a tourbillon functions!
Thank you so much Christoph, this was a great video and congratulations on completing such a fun project!
this is an insane feat of engineering! I wish I could get my head around this
Very impressive. Congrats on your feature!
Thank you that you have brought me here, Hodinkee. Awesome!
A truly inspirational project!
I was on the fence about getting a 3D printer but you've inspired me to get one to start experimenting, thank you.
Great design, a truely inspiring project!
This is an excellent video and I've very impressed with your watch design! Well done
Your idea of presentation are spectacular.
Congratulations for the initiative!!!
Wicked cool Ima make a video for this for sure. I absolutely love builds that you must put together in many pieces :D Thanks for your work man!
Absolutely brilliant. I might even have a go at printing this!
Wonderful job on both the 3D printed design and parts and also the fantastic video showing how it works and how to print it. Sharing is caring, Thanks.
This is beautiful piece of creativity!
Excellent video! Very interesting to see a working 3d printed tourbillon
you're the painter bob of 3d printing. wonderful!
Very very accurate work, well done
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this exciting piece of engineering.
Serious talent. Well done.
Incredible proyect and well explained. Thank You. If I owned a 3d Printer I would do this proyect with my daughter.
Coolest print-out I've seen.
Amazing and beautiful. Bravo!
Outstanding video and even more amazing is the willingness to share this really great work, very well done!
Just getting into this now, but fantastic video i hope it helps encourage a new generation of clock makers.
Outstanding! Very well done!
Thank you for such good explanation on watch mechanism.
Excellent work, congratulations.
This is ridiculously awesome.
Fascinating - beautifully constructed, great editing. Easiest channel subscribe of the week.
Wow, this is beautiful! Thank you.
awesome and thank you for the files, appreciate your time and work.
So cool!
i couldnt even get your absolutely amazing clock to work, i would love to try to get this to work!
this is amazing, great work!
Thank you so much for sharing your work. This is amazing!
Extremely cool! The videos are also especially well made. Great job! Kind of want to try and design my own watch now :D
Love it!! I have some tourbillon wristwatches and a 3d printer, it's like two of my favorite things in one! I was thinking about designing one but you beat me to it! :p
Dude. This is awesome.
This is a very clean and nice design. Good job Christoph. I wanted to make one watch too, but I did not find the time for that. It is really fine and cool watch
Very Very very nice! I am Breathless, 1.st the nice design, 2nd the real good print quality, 3rd the very good video!
Tank You very much.
Michael
Wow, that's such a great item
You are amazing for doing this 👍🏼
Wow sir, you are a genius! Awesome print :D
Brilliant work.
Wow! Simply genius stuff. Keep up the great work. You've got my sub!
Duddeee, you are a genius! This is great!
Nicely done! Very informative as well. Thanks for the video! Wish I had a 3D printer....lol. Once again thanks from the USA...
Jaw dropping ! Very beautiful and also so much info to learn about the Tourbillon. Or must i say - Open Source Tourbillon - :) Thanks for sharing !
beautifully done.
Very educational. I really like your presentation
That is by far the largest watch I have ever seen.
+Christoph Laimer, 3D printers are a tool that not a lot of people will exploit as far as you. Perfect mix between science, art and education; very inspiring!!!
Muito bonito a arte que você fez parabéns.
Wow, great project!
Very nice watch. And very kind of you to share 3d printer files.
Fanstastic video and work!! Contratulations!!
You are truly a genius. Thank you.
Beautiful. I liked it just because of its coolness. 🙌
ngl I saw this when I was bored browsing UA-cam, but this man is an innovator and genius!
This is so amazing... I'm going to try and print my own
Simply amazing!
Awesome!
You are an inspiration sir!
As the Brits like to say, I'm Gobsmacked. Holy Tourbillon! Well done.
Finally one with a FREE download
Excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant thank you so much, I'm going to start printing one tomorrow
Congratulations! You are an international star!!
Thats dope
Just loved it!!!!! UA-cam at it's best!!!!!!!
Thats Amazing!!! Im going to make one one day, i got a 3dprinter, but this has so many parts i am uncertain if i can take the challenge :) Still GREAT video and cool watch :)
This is awesome I've always loved tourbillons, I'll never be able to afford one but a fun tabletop 3D printed version 1 I would
Dude, that's impressive
great job
impressive work :)
Respect great work
Plastic or metal, the ticking is always mesmerizing.
Superb job! Thanks for sharing. :-)
Great stuff!
Totally amazing!
Wow I bloody like that
That is very cool.
this is a pocket watch only Flavor Flav would wear.
it's freakin HUGE!
Love these stuff , your works are great , can you suggest any site to learn more about gear teeth maths rotation ratios for watch , etc
Thats awesome, and cool video :)
Among all the youtubers you are the smartest.
