This escapement series has been so fun and exciting to follow all this while! It looks so cool all together!
Thanks for sticking around for the whole thing! Glad you enjoyed :)
Yeah 👌
So badass! Really great explanation of gear ratios and torque. I've never done a clock project like this, but I might have to give it a shot now. Awesome.
Thanks Tom, definitely a fun endeavor!
You honestly should, I would assume doing something like this would be really fun
I love all the different unique sounds the escapement mechanisms make 🤩🤩🤩
So satisfying eh
This is by far the best and most concise video I've seen explaining the various escapements and how a pendulum clock actually works. I really want to give this a try. Thanks so much for posting, excellent!
Your work is not only original but also awesome. Thank You.
Thanks John!
I feel nothing but fully impressed. You are an amazing mechanical engineer and artist. I have watched several videos on how watch works, none of them explain better than you
Thank you so much, Jay. I find joy watching all your creations. It feels like the childhood that was missing.
Really appreciate that you are sharing all these with us. Keep enjoying and creating! ❤🙏
Glad you can enjoy! Thank you, I will 😀
About 12 years ago I looked around online to try and buy a clock kit because I wanted to make something like this. It did not exist. So I decided to build my own. Now these clocks are everywhere. It's so exciting to see so many peoples different ideas on how to make them. Especially with 3d printing now the designs are endless. You did a great job of explaining the different types of escapements and explaining the gear ratios. I so wish this video was around 12 years ago when I started searching. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Fantastic work! I've heard many of these timepiece terms before but this does a great job in defining them visually for me. Appreciate the content. Gained a new subscriber 🙂
Thanks Andy!!
Thank you so much for not rushing of the different types of escapements
Dude stoked to see this all come together! Great job and beautiful design
Thanks G!!
One of the best explanations of the time keeping mechanics I've seen yet.
Can you partner with bambu to make a kit
I’ve been really enjoying this series, Jay, and this is a great finale video 🙂
Couple of requests/ideas for standalone ‘how to’ videos:
- how are you modelling gears? I’ve found ways, but not yet figured out a good easy way I’m happy with
- your prints look really smooth - an overview of materials/techniques would be great
- how do you deal with clearance, especially accounting for different printers?
I appreciate you watching! And the video ideas :) Cheers
Thanks for this masterpiece! You´ve matched the perfect ratio of entertainment and informations, really enjoyed those 9 1/2 minutes
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for not just explaining the printing but the great mechanics behind such a "simple" thing like a clock. We should respect the great little inventions that took us to precise mechanic clocks.
Thanks for watching and appreciating 👊👊
Great job Jay - been loving this content on clocks and escapements!!
Glad you've enjoyed it Toby!
I've been thinking about accuracy the whole time of watching this video and when you showed the screw thread on the pendulum is just so satisfying. What a great build and nice video
Thank you!!
I'm not sure if I should love or hate this, because now you've got me trying to learn CAD...
Its such a useful skill- you might hate this in the short term, love it in the long term 😀
Amen to that. I found tinkercad to be a good tool to learn one. It seemed very limited in capability but after experimenting on multiple gear designs I discovered some real
Great job! I like the explanations & the numerical dials at the end
Thank you!
I'd love to see more detail on how to design some of the escapements in detail. Like the gear teeth or escapement teeth in SOLIDWORKS.
Noted! Maybe in the future! Cheers :)
Look for videos by Jacque Favre. He has a walkthrough in Fusion 360 and another in FreeCad.
This was a very useful video. I appreciate the tips! The brass insert was particularly useful.
🙏🙏
This is blowing my mind... So freaking amazing.
Thanks Mr. DB!
Awesome project. Nicely done!
Thank you!!
this video completely demystified mechanical clocks for me. Thank you very, very much!! I finally get it!!!
Thanks so much big brother, you are really an inspiration to me
Speaking from a mechanical engineering viewpoint, you’re brilliant!
Excellent job!
Just purchased the file and about to start printing on my Bambu X1! Your channel is awesome 👏🏽
Thanks Logan! Enjoy the build!
That's awesome! So much thought and work must have gone into the project.
Thank you! Soo much 🥵🥵
So cool, looks like so much fun to make! It’s obvious you have a joy for thoughtful building!
I bet this project really took some time to make, hahaha!! Get it!!
Great great video and thank you for sharing
😂😂😂 thanks Joshua!
Very nice and inspiring! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
That minute hand is Awesome! Well done!
Thank you!
Awesome project! Nice and interesting video!
Thank you!
Dude! Outstanding. As soon as my printer gets here I will be making your clock. Thanks so much for this video.
Thanks Joseph! Happy printing 😀
Love your work, thanks for inspiring us!

Thanks for watching Bill!
This is absolutely fascinating. You're a wizard!
Just a humble engineer 🤓
Very entertaining and informative!
Thank you!
Wow, super cool use for 3d printing
🙌🙌👊👊
This is my Christmas break project. Super excited to print and assemble.
Awesome! Enjoy :) Happy holidays!
Thx that was awesome Man!
Unbelievably amazing!
Thanks Frank!
These are super impressive
Thank you!
You nailed it mn! Awesome clock
Thank you!
Thats very cool, well done
Thank you!
awesome video, keep up the good work
Thanks Dennis!
So good and inspiring
Glad you enjoyed!
Me actually understanding what is going on as he’s explaining it only too see the outro of a Timelapse of the clock and be like “yeah no”
😂😂
Wow, what a cool design; I’m gonna make one of these for my workshop!
One minor point: If the clock is running fast, I’d think you’d want to move the pendulum weight down, to increase the period of the pendulum swing, no?
Super work and a beautiful-looking design!
Yes! I mixed it up in the vid 😬 thank you
Great work
Thanks Keenan!
Sir.. you are a MASTER! Well done!
Thank you!!
Yet another great design
Thanks Gary!
Amazing ! Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Great project. I love it.
Thank you!!
Fantastic, I've purchased your files and my wife will love the resulting clock. Next step figuring our which color pla to use.
Appreciate your support 👊👊
Absolutely incredible
🙏🙏🙏
Its so awesome!!! I love it!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
great content, subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
It's astonishing to me that you don't have millions of subs. Since subscribing, each time you post a video there's always something unique & even more interesting than the last.
Appreciate it 👊👊
super nice, thanks 🎉
Thank you!
I was thrilled watching this, and then you added the “flyback” complication. So cool!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Which escapement gives the most satisfying tic-toc?
Genius!. Grettins from Argentina
Thanks Daniel!
Wow that’s one way of making a mechanical clock! Very cool
Thank you!
So cool!
Dude this is god dam amazing! great work. I've never 3D printed anything but I have access to some printers and I've always wanted a clock like this!
Thank you!!
Oh wow! I didn’t even realize this was finished!! I need to make one!
🙌🙌
Dude that is so cool
Thank you!!
very nice profund explanations.I once had a company, making mechanical clocks by wood which was a big success. Perhaps i will print our top model exactly 1:1 or with small modifications. One important point is lifetime, where i have a big doubt if printed parts can compete.Our experience of our clocks is more than 30 years and they are still in use.
Very nice engineering and presentation.
i love watching the shorts as you progressed on this, it's amazing to see the full vid out now
Thanks for watching the whole series! Cheers :)
Pretty impressive!
Thanks Charles!
Magnificent ... I 'll made mine , superb . Greetings from Peru arequipa
🙏🙏🙏
well done!!
Thanks Andrei!
So beautiful!
Thank you!!
that was a treat, those escapements are incredibly creative.
Thanks Jay! Great name btw
@@Engineezy yours too! it's not bias either, it's just plain fact.
Neat work!
Thank you!
Bro this is waaay too cool 👌😮
Thank you!
This is awesome.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)
This is amazing
Thank you!!
this was very impressive
When I was a kid there was a book at the bookstore, that was actually a paper clock kit. I always wanted it, parents always said no. It had pages of the same gear shapes, and you were supposed to cut them out, and glue them on top of each other in layers, until you had a gear rigid enough for a clock mechanism. I always thought it was a neat idea. I doubt 8 year old me could have completed the clock, though.
wow I want to make this
You should try to make a 24hr mechanical clock
Could you upload a normal speed video of this running for like an hour or two?
I’d love to have this just clicking on in the background.
Maybe a JBV Creative Extra’s channel or something.
found my new youtube rabbit hole. This content is incredible.
Thank you! Glad you can appreciate :)
I dont know if I ever will be able print this, but this is the content why I have YT subcriptions, and I will buy the model from your site! Amazing, than you!
Appreciate it!! 👊👊👊
Fantastisch!!!!
Congratulations
Thank you!!
Love this 👍
🙏🙏🙏
Amazing!
That's so cool
I am currently saving up money to get a 3-D printer, and it is going to be the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon, when I do get this new printer I am going to probably try to print your clock so I can put it above my 3-D printer or in my room somewhere! I really love how it looks and how you can tell time with it! It is also really cool how you explained the escapement mechanism, it makes complete sense when I listen to you explain it very clearly. I love your clock, and I will try printing it love your videos man. You should do another video like this!
Glad you enjoyed this :) happy printing!
This is awesome! Ty! Now to make a watch! 😂
Thank you!
Great clock. Clocks are tricky things to make.
This is brilliant. I've just bought my 1st 3d printer and you've got me thinking 🤔🙂
🙏🙏🙏
