How To Assemble the Flying Pendulum Escapement

Instead of a 2D pendulum, this escapement uses a string pendulum that wraps and unwraps around posts to slow down the fall of the weight. Not the most accurate or consistent escapement, but it is definitely the most fun to watch!

The STL File: https://jbvcreative.com/products/the-...

Prints on all standard 3d printers without supports, requires the following additional parts to assemble:

9 M4x12| 8 M4 Nuts Screws (I used https://amzn.to/3Cf7dpp)
2 M4x35 Screws (Like these https://amzn.to/3TUZIKN)
