I just want to brag a bit. Printed on an Anycubic Kobra 2. Runs without much problems. At the moment 10 Days on a single winding, tweakble up to 32 days. The weight is from another wooden self build clock.

Edit: cant i upload videos?

Edit 2: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-32-day-clock-easy-build-156759 (12$)

Edit 3: I just printed this clock, i didnt plan it myself if this is unclear...

Filament change is buggy, yes. It worked exactly one time for me. Didnt get it to work again. I just paused the print in time and changed "manually".

I modified the start and end gcodes like described here. its german tho,so here the modified gcodes directly: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MnAVLDR7czikQ_prklkgt-AMtqOvZ3aV/view

It prints 5 lines before the actual print to help with dripped empty nozzle. The first lyer will be much better. Also it pushes the heatbed to the front instead to the back after printing.

After automatic leveling, you can modify the z-offset to fit with the settngs in the slicer. But watch out to not ram the nozzle into the bed. So watch out with setting it lower, higher shouldnt make problems.

Have fun printing!
