Cuckoo Clock water wheel

Have built the Cuckoo Clock and I love it. It is working well and keeps excellent time. Have seen that people have added a motor to make the water wheel spin all the time. Would love to add this to my clock. Not very technical so need instructions on how to do this please.

I think you’d need a rotating motor to do that. Hopefully someone who has done it will share it.

@Janine_Thompson @ robotime can you help ? Or anyone on the community thank you :blush:

Maybe someone in the community who has modified their build this way can help you. I’d love to see it if you end up being successful.

That’s awesome! Glad to hear it’s keeping such good time.

Peter Nicholas did this to his cuckoo clock but he is not a member of the community. Maybe you can try to reach out to him through Facebook in the rokr official fans group. I wish you the best of luck

I hope they can help you; I haven’t built that kit yet.

Hopefully someone in the community can help you bring that little extra magic to life.

I hope someone can share clear instructions with you! It would look wonderful with the water wheel spinning. As Nita said, if you look for the Facebook group and look for Peter, maybe he can give you some tips. Hope it helps :smiling_face:

That’s great to hear! It’s always satisfying when a mechanical build works as well as it looks. I’ve seen a few people motorize the water wheel too, and it adds a really nice touch. Hopefully someone who has done the modification can share a step-by-step guide. I’d love to see how yours turns out if you decide to give it a try!

It’s a beautiful kit, hope someone can help you. Enjoy building.

Hope someone can help you figure it out! :slightly_smiling_face:
