Description

It's a simple moon phase clock.

i've made it using a simple quartz clock as "motor".

You 'll need :

  • a simple quartz clock (and a battery)
  • all the 3D printed parts
  • maybe some glue to maintain the top part

The gears :

I've used 8 gears named from A to H, A for the hours part of the clock and H the gear with the two moon. 

i need a reduction ratio of 4x29,53 = 118.12:1

so with a little (and ugly :p) script of mine i choose  :

A=12      B=68      C=30      D=37       E= 23      F=49      G=15     H=119

you can check the ratio on this  web page

A moon phase clock sounds fascinating! It's always interesting to see how celestial cycles are incorporated into everyday objects. If you'd like to learn more https://moonphasesoulmate.com/ about the significance of moon phases and their potential interpretations, there are many resources available online.

this is an awesome project i had a hard time getting the A gear tight to the clock motor, so i drilled the gear slightly bigger and crazy glued the center of a leftover hour hand to the gear. works great.
