I designed an escapement mechanism based on Galileo's pendulum escapement that has been simplified for 3D printing. See Galileo's escapement here:

See a video of this mechanism in action here:

However, there will be some difficulty in printing the "fronting" due to the support requirement above the main gear, which then forces support into some of the smaller holes that then needs to be drilled out. Add
