Fine-tuning the escapement

[syvwlch]

Suggestions from rustedrobot on how to fine-tune the escapement:

1. shave a little off the corner of the club-tooth.

Suggestions from syvwlch:

1. reduce the width of the escapement arms to increase drop.

From me,

Shave 1-2mm from the inside face of the escapment arm thats opposite the one hooking the club-tooth. If that makes any sense. Need to take pics.

Yup, we're basically saying the same thing, I think. Slimmed-down escapement up on thingiverse. Part 03c. :-)

Just realised I never followed up, final revised escapement worked much better. Further debugging needs a pendulum (and a better printing job from me).

[syvwlch]

That's good news! I put together a snap-fit pendulum for Test Jig #3, which can be extended by replicating certain parts.

[TheRuttmeister]

Working on printing jig 3 now, any chance of a container to attach to the end of the pendulum, one that can be filled with quarters maybe...

rustedrobot is working on exactly that! :-)
