I’ll start. I have recently gotten into 3D printing, and, while incredibly frustrating sometimes, there’s nothing more rewarding than getting a perfect print.

    I got into 3d printing ages ago by way of wanting to build whacky r/c aircraft (and I had read a thing about it in a magazine. This was late 90’s though and it was completely different then.)

    3d printing got me into horology- and designing printed versions of different mechanical clock mechanisms.

    I especially like pendulum clocks.

      That’s awesome

      There’s a mod (build?) that I saw that combines a pendulum clock with a Sentro brand auto-knitting machine to knit as the clock ticks.

        this was the first clock I printed. The instructions are easy, even it does take more hardware. It also has remarkable accuracy as far as time keeping is concerned
