Symmetry in Motion: the Train-of-Wheels Script Levels Up 🚀
Just hit a major milestone! 🚀 My script now spins up the whole watch movement in one click, complete with brass wheels and deep-red rubies. Even added a Bitcoin 10-minute complication that'll have those blocks ticking like clockwork. Curious? Check it out! thebitcoinwatchmaker.com #watchmaking #Bitcoin ⌚️🛠️
Big milestone today—the script now spins up wheels, staffs, and a full mainspring barrel in one click, then drops rubies into custom holders like it’s dealing cards at Monte Carlo.
Materials snap into place too—brass for wheels, polished steel for staffs, deep-red ruby jewels, and a flash of blued steel where it counts—so the CAD preview already looks heat-blued and bench-ready.
The real magic? A tidy joint system that lets me dial each rotation until the whole train lines up in picture-perfect symmetry. I also reworked the clearances between wheels so the bridges drop in clean and pick up those sweet 0.07 mm chamfers without a fuss. Watching it lock in is pure watch-nerd bliss.
Bonus win: after some head-scratching I finally found the sweet spot for the Bitcoin 10-minute complication—a pinion driving a wheel that meshes with an inner gear. Woah, can’t wait to see that block-time tick! ₿
Next up: diving into milling fully-sintered carbide bits shaped to match each tooth profile—turning pixels into cutting edges one micron at a time. Stay tuned! 🛠️⌚️
Script also adds the cuts so the wheel and pinion can be joined
