Thanks Yoda, some mechanisms have a hard life.. But this is a school mechanism, very grateful for the work.. How are you progressing with the construction? Are you at the end?

Yes, the Unitas and ETA 649X are easy to work on and parts are readily available, so all is good.

I am soon there, only some details remain.

Quality is great. It just needs some tweaking by hand and some polishing.

@Emilio can the lever also be printed?
What source do we have for midring?

The lever can be printed but not in stainless steel. It seems it's too small for them.

Fortunately you can use one from a 6152/1

(I need to test this)

Mid ring can be sourced from Esdee, Athaya, or kp0y (recommended)

But I need to see how everything fits together first. Please, bear with me
