We plan to design and 3D-print a basic mechanical clock. The clock will work using a synchronous AC gearmotor (approximate cost: $24) and a gear-based mechanism. The teeth on the gears will be triangular, which is possible given the low rpm of the minute hand. We estimate that no more than eight gears will be needed.
