I finally got around to making some of the needed modifications to my previous triple axis tourbillon design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2090912). Check it out for the listing of non-printed components (with links) and a brief and highly suspect lesson in horology.
Improvements include the following:
Fork now includes a guard pin for increased reliability.
Flats cut into shafts. The previous version relied on friction, so parts wore out very quickly.
Improved ball race without an insertion hole. No more airsoft pellets making bids for freedom.
Added gear teeth to the ball race in case I want to make it weight powered at some point.
I still want to add on a system to power it with weights rather than fingers.
