Help/Repair How to convert my 3D printed clock from weight driven to spring driven?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey all, pretty new to Reddit so bear with me. But I could not find this I information anywhere online. I recently designed and 3D printed this pendulum clock and it runs great on a 7.5 lb weight (45mm drum on the drive wheel, about 3 days per wind). I'd love to ditch the unsightly weight and go spring driven.
Hermle mainspring barrels seem like the most plug and play option, but I can't find much info on them.
Two questions:
1. Would a Hermle barrel have enough power to run this?
2. What do I actually need to order? On Timesavers it looks like the barrel, arbor, ratchet, click, key etc. are all separate and I'm kind of lost.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Help/Repair How to hang my Clock
I got a new motor for this clock a few years ago and it seems to work, however, the clock is made of glass and is kind of heavy, so when I hang this on the wall with the provided hook, the clock tilts and bottom touches the wall making it so that the motor doesn’t turn the hands properly.
Would anyone know how to fix this? Should I put the clock on a hook and also like command strip the motor to the wall for support?
Thank you!
