I finished the MiniMechanica today. Works very well!!

Thanks for this great design! And for the really excellent documentation. Printend completely in PLA

Printed the Mini Mechanica 2.0 on my Elegoo Saturn using a mix of ~40% Anycubic Standard Black, ~40% Resinway Standard White and ~20% Weistek ABS-like Grey. Springs are printed on my Ender 3 using 3D Filament PETG White

Great model and great manual! Thanks. For me this was sort of a practice run for the "lead engineer" or "chief engineer" mechanisms. Spring is PETG, printed on a Prusa MK3S. Rest is PLA, printed on a Prusa Mini+

Great design and excellent instructions. Next comes the Tourbillion Mechanica Tri Axial. https://youtu.be/3R0OGvVg5D0

Brilliant design and easy to follow instructions.

Printed all with PLA, runtime about 3 minutes. Printed on a Prusa MINI

Mini Mechanica 2.0. Really impressed with design and fun project to put together. PLA with PETG springs.

Really impressed with the excellent model and documentation. It was fun putting together!

Test-print on a 70%-Size; to get a feeling for the size...more pictures to come

Printed more parts of the balance at 70% of the original scale; it seems to be a proper size to rethink the design in a brass/steel-version

So much fun .. ^_^ 1. Captain America : https://youtu.be/deA_9AuvMaM 2. Black Panther : https://youtu.be/AGDcvFILcu0

Its fun to make this project.

Going for the rose gold "Patek" look.

Colourscheme inspired by the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon. jaeger-lecoultre.com/ca-en/news/our-maison/new-reverso-tribute-duoface-tourbillonThe only thing I had trouble with was getting the ring gear into the posts on the top base. The top base's posts kept breaking off. I tried to gently bend the ring gear into place, but i still broke posts off of 3x prints of the top base. Maybe that could be redesigned somehow? Also, I printed my mainspring in PLA. It can handle about 8 winds from an un-winded state. Anymore and it might snap. I broke one mainspring this way.

50% Mini Mechanica. - Springs: PETG - Remainder: PLA Revo Six E3D Nozzles - Springs and Gears: 0.15mm - Remainder: 0.25 mm Strongly recommend making the 100% scale first since the 50% is very challenging to print successfully. Amazing model. Thanks Dan for posting the update!

Dan, Thanks for posting the smaller models! It was a challenge to print on my MK3S. Strongly encourage users to print the 100% version first before starting with the smaller versions. The printer really needs to be dialed in to be successful. I also had to dry out the filament much longer especially for the 0.15mm Revo Six nozzle with PETG springs to reduce stringing. I think the 50% is the limit for my machine. Even with elephants foot compensation, I had to clean up the escape wheel and pallet fork with the help of my stereo microscope. Turned out amazing! My favorite model to date.

turned out quite nice! All PLA on a Bambu X1C with standard Optimal slicer settings https://youtu.be/KtB7u1bjaQw https://youtu.be/mWrqbZamJDg

Inspired by your Micor machanica, i also maded a 75% scaled one. I barely made this by using 0.4mm nozzle.

Had so much fun with this build!
