Fully 3d Printed Tourbillon

This is a Fully 3d Printed Tourbillon I made. With the main spring under max tension, the mechanism will run for 20 to 30 seconds but it is very easy to keep adding energy to the main spring by just giving it a twist. Once the main spring is at its max tension, give the flywheel a bump and watch it go! For a smoother action, consider using a small amount of a low viscosity lubricant such as Knife Pivot lube. Video Of The Tourbillon In Action ASSEMBLY TUTORIAL (not the best video but should get the point across)A few quick tips for assembly:No super glue is needed but can be used to join the top and bottom as well as the outer ring and the base. The entire project was designed to be a friction fit for all the pieces. Make sure the pieces are not too snug and that all moving components can freely move. It is also a good idea to use a low viscosity lubricant on the axels of the moving parts to encourage smoother operation. Don't forget washers, without them the action can become very
