Parts holder made with 3D printer


Recommended Posts

I made this today.  The clear cup is a 9oz drinking cup.  You get 50 for under 10 bucks or maybe even less...dunno--the wife does the shopping.

I did not put separators within the holder, but I can do that easily.  So far, I have not discovered the utility of the separate compartments.

Thoughts?

They are very useful especially for beginners and if you want to save time rummaging for parts hidden under an unrelated bridge or plate. I have also labelled mine.

One thing I do not like on these is the center area. 

That's because you're working on the wrong mov.ts 😄

Get to healthy 11 - 1/2 lignes , the main plate will sit perfectly in the center, and for a brief moment you will feel that Everything Fits Together.

    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?  
    • Does anyone knows what size case a need for a dial diameter 20.60mm?
    • Sounds like the story with my Rolex. Poor (expensive) job done by an official Rolex dealer with an "in-house" watchmaker, hence I learned watchrepair and did the servicing myself. Same story as I learned with the Omega 861, again poor job by an "in-house" watchmaker by an official Omega dealer. Once your watch goes through that back-door, you have no idea what is going to happening to it 🫣   Quite nice that they sent back the parts which had been replaced !
    • yes that's definitely not right at all. I have a picture one of my friends has a Omega coaxial there was having issues to lose asking me where he should send it. As that's a specialty watch I suggested the service center. When he got it back he sent me a picture so the replace the dial as you can see the hands the mainspring barrel and I think the price was really quite decent considering all the stuff they can replace. So I do know they do change the barrels but the other person I worked at the service center when I would ask questions and unfortunately I can't remember all the answers. I think a lot of the changing a parts is at the discretion of the watchmaker. Plus I don't know enough about the chronographs and whether that would be considered a vintage watch? I take some of the vintage watches may have been sent directly to Switzerland or another service center. Obviously with a watch like the one down below they probably have a infinite supply of parts is its relatively modern vintage stuff becomes more interesting even the watch companies don't have necessarily infinite supply of parts. But no matter what the watch shouldn't disintegrated six months that's definitely an issue.
