Really appreciate the video, one of the only places I could find on how to source your own dials.

[@WatchComplications]

Glad you got something out of it. Thanks for watching :)

[@WatchComplications]

glad you found it helpful

Thanks al lot man! Can't wait for part 3!

Interesting idea, I would not have thought about FDM printing a watch dial

[@AlexGrunwald]

Great video! Thanks! For someone who doesn't have access to CAD software, are there any online sources for downloading and/or purchasing STL files for specific watch model dials?

[@WatchComplications]

Thanks for watching. As for online sources for dial STL files...not that I'm aware of.

Why don't you have more subs you're great !!!!!

[@WatchComplications]

Well, I have only had the channel for about a year, and only doing custom dial vids for several months, so I expect it will grow. Subs are joining at about the rate of 20/week. :) The more the better!

I wonder how well epoxy printing would work. The detail possible in a decent printer could make anything possible. Fdm seems a bit too grainy for high detail.

[@WatchComplications]

the resin printers can do pretty good. all comes down to how fancy a printer, materials, and how much a person is willing to spend.

[@10siWhiz]

@@WatchComplications I see some incredibly detailed display pieces coming off resin printers. I have a couple enders but never wanted to get into resin. Seems messy.

wich program of AutoCad you are using??

[@WatchComplications]

Um? AutoCAD.
