Hi,

I designed this Bergeon style part dust tray for watchmakers or hobbyist to put tiny dust sensitive parts to prevent the dust landing on it, it usually comes with a clear glass bell cover, but I can't print glass, untransparent will do for me, enjoy.

The bell cover needs support while printing, I printed in 0.15mm resolution, looks good and works well, if you have more watchmaker tools requirements can be printed in plastic, please let me know, I'll love to design them, thanks.

Looks great, hey what matters is what is in it, not that you can see it!

I think that if you were to make 7S26 holders, able to be used with it or without the case ring, these would do great.

Maybe sized 0.2mm less that the actual diameter, then make 2 radial cuts so it would open slightly to hold. And a small slot to pry it out out,

Seller Hal0eight on eBay (also known as VTA or VintageTimeAustralia) currently sells a 3D printed movement holder for the Seiko 7S series of movements, as well as other common Seiko movement families.

Hi Tritto,

 

Thanks for sharing, can you tell me why need a movement holder? I didn't get the point, sorry, I'm very new to watchmaking, thanks for your time.

I was responding to JDM's suggestion that you print a 7S26 movement holder.

They can be a better way of holding a movement while you're working on it that the usual metal movement holder that screws tighter to grip your movement.

Here is one holding a Seiko 6309 movement.

Hi Jdm,

 

Is this what you need? somebody had already made this, and can you tell me why a movement holder? I don't see a use for it, thanks.

Hi Tritto,

 

Thanks for your kind reply, ok, I see the point now, is there any advantage using this over using a universal movement holder? I can see I don't need to spend $25 for a universal movement holder if I'm only working on one type of movement, and someone on Thingiverse had designed this, please take a look, thanks.

Some of the advantages are in the summary that you've linked to. I find them nice and stable with a firm grip on the movement and if you line the movement up right you have cut outs for the stem and dial screws.

What happens with the traditional holder is that the mov.t slips out all the time, especially when on the plastic ring.

But the item that is really ideal for 3D is mov.t rings. 

And I would be curious to know if 3D can be used for making casting moldings.

Of course I mean to make the master parts, not the molt itself.

Sure, print in plastic, make a sand mold or vulcanize with some rubber to make a rubber mold .  Or you can get printable wax and then do the lost wax thing....that opens open new doors and being wax you can work the piece, add to it etc before casting, it has a lot of possibilities.   You could even use it for the mold itself, depending on the material being cast

Hi Tritto,

 

Very interesting for sure, but able to do that, I need to have a movement to measure the dimensions, now I only have Seiko 7S36 & 6R15, also 3D printing if you are not using an SLA system, will have low resolution, so something like dial pin will dot have a good result and it will break easy.

Isn't all data downloadable from thingiverse?
Attached detailed dimension data for an identical mov.t. Ideally one should be able have one side hold with the ring installed, and the other without.

For trying it out, PM  your address, I'll ship you a 7S26 from the box of challenged ones.

I know what I"m going to print today ! Thanks for sharing your design ... We should start a "watchmaker tools" group on thingiverse there is not nearly enough watchmaker stuff on thingiverse and the things that are there get lost in the noise.

If you don't mind I'm going to redesign the bell in two parts so it can print without any supports.

Yes you totally can there are lots of videos on youtube showing making castings from PLA everything from making epoxy casts to metal casts in Aluminium. One I found particually interesting is what they call "metal cold casting" they mix metal shavings (brass,iron,aluminium,etc) in epoxy to make a finished product that looks like metal and can be polished like metal, but I guess is a bit like MDF is to wood.

If you want to start a watchmaker's tools collection feel free to add the few I've created so far.

A hand setting tool and a simple but scalable movement holder.

      To start searching for hands, measure the diameter of the hour wheel where the hour hand attaches, and the tip of the cannon pinion where the minute hand attaches. Use calipers that are accurate to 0.01mm, and then you can look around ebay for hands about the right size. It is typical to have to either close down (concave punch) or broach open the pipe when fitting hands since you won't usually find a set that is the exact diameter of your hour wheel & cannon pinion. It is reasonable to work with something about +/- 0.03mm  Measure the thickness of the 4th wheel extended pivot for a seconds hand. Cousins does sell some new hands for pocket watches, but I don't find them suitable for old watches. They just don't look right so instead I managed to win an auction on an enormous assortment of old hands. It's sort of fun to pick through them and measure to find a workable pair. I use this tool to measure hands:

      I'm looking for hands (3) & a crystal (4cm dia.) for my watch Serial No. 85590 as shown in the photo. I'd be grateful for suggestions re potential sources; and to know if uv glue would be suitable for re-fixing the 12mm dia. seconds dial.

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy. The issue is watches that are sold as  waterproof are only valid if serviced and fitted with new gaskets fitted particularly those that are around the stems.A picture of the watch would be helpful for a better analysis..
