Using the MCAD library, I put together a little parametric script that creates a gear train to take the wheel of an escapement and gear down its rotation by 60:1 via three pinion wheels.
This is a proof of concept for the printable clock. If the escapement wheel rotated once per minute (i.e. could run the seconds hand), the other end of the gear train would rotate once per hour (i.e. could run the minutes hand).
I used three pinion wheels rather than the usual two because the smaller gear
