Clockwork Heart (dual ulysse escapement)

Description

So I Needed A Design That I Could Give To All Of My Long-Distance Paramours This Past Valentine'S Day. I Decided On A Variation Of My Recreation Of Ludwig Oeschlin'S Dual Ulysse Escapement Since It Naturally Fits Within A Heart Shape. I Explain That This Model Is To "Count The Seconds We'Re Apart." Currently It Is Only Hand-Powered Since I Could Not Get My Elaborate, Ratcheting Going-Barrel To Work With It. I Guess We Could Debate The Merits Of The Immediacy And Personal Interaction With The Hand-Powered Version Vs. The Design And Sophistication Of The Spring-Powered Version. Once The Spring Motor Is More Reliable, I'Ll Upload It. Tolerances Are Pretty Tight On This Design (As With All Radial-Thrust Escapements), So Be Mindful Of How It Prints (Avoiding Over-Extrusion And Elephant-Footing). I Tried To Modify The Design So That All Shafts Could Be 16Mm X 2Mm Dowel Pins Rather Than Cut Shafts To Save Time.

Now All Shafts Can Be 2Mm Diameter X 16Mm Long Dowel Pins (As Linked Above) With The Exception Of The Balance Wheel Shaft. I'Ve Gotten A Version Working With A Pla Filament Strip As A Shaft, So The Design Can Meet My Intent Of Not Requiring Any Dremelling. I Also Added Exploded Views From Openscad To Show How All Of The Parts Fit Together.
