I have no idea why these things are put together but it looks marvelous. Love it.
(Is the 3d print the gears and the flour is...?)
Its put together just as "proof", to find the cheapest weight. Steel BBs or Lead Shot, used normally as weight for this clock, cost way more.
Yes, the clock itself is mostly printed besides ball bearings, steel rods, screws, fishing line and pennies for the pendulum.
That's great! Use what works since the final design might need the expensive stuff (and who knows how many tries are needed to get it right!). Nice.
