Made my first hairspring. 😂😂 ...  

Gigantic! I am curious to see in which watch you will install it. [nt]

May I ask what printer did your wife buy you?

It's a Creality Ender-3. [nt]

Wow, so under $200. That's unbelievable!

What do you reckon will be the material costs for your movement? Unbelievable to think what we can do these days for so little. $200 of LEGOs and you barely get anything. $200 here and the sky is the limit. Though LEGO is still damn entertaining🙂

A roll is $20 so a guess is for that money you will get a lot of parts.

I buy 10 rolls in different colors for $200 and those will last for a lifetime. LOL

Can't wait to see the finished piece! Any idea about how much filament you'll end up needing to finish a project of this size? [nt]

I donn,t know

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : November 20th, 2019-10:29
There is 315 meter in a roll so I guess it will last for a lifetime. I have 10 rolls so it is a litle more than 3 kilometers. LOL

It looks like it use 2 meter per hour. [nt]

Thanks! Is yours the Ender-3 or Ender-3 Pro high precision? [nt]

 
 By: Emil Wojcik : November 20th, 2019-11:53

Mine is Ender-3, most 3D guys says the Pro is not worth $100 more. [nt]

Thanks. My wife just ordered the Ender-3 for me but she said she won't let me have it till Christmas! LOL [nt]

 
 By: Emil Wojcik : November 20th, 2019-16:26

Great, my wife still says: I was not believe you was so happy for it

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : November 20th, 2019-21:36
It have running when I'm home since I got it. LOL

So...

Now that is a big deal. Sign of a real manufacture.

Nice! Is it going in a pocket watch? (nt)

No, it will not be a complete movement. Just a working model. [nt]

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : November 21st, 2019-09:31

Looking forward to your progress... (nt)
