I give my husband a Rokr kit every Christmas. He has previously completed, and loved, the merry-go-round and the marble run. Today he finished the clock and is over the moon! The instructions have to be followed extremely accurately and there is plenty of challenge but in a way that adds interest, not causes frustration. Now it is done he cannot keep his eyes off it! Which kit will it be next Christmas, I wonder?
Had fun putting the model together. I’d not made any before, found the instructions easy to follow, all the pieces were cut accurately. It was very satisfying to have a working clock at the end.
Bought for my daughters christmas, so dissapointed it never came packaged of any sort, just handed the actual item with a sticker on. And as it was handed to the daughter in question then it is no longer a surprise, gutted.
I like it but very difficult small pieces easy break thin wood I’m lot breaking wood difficult inside put altogether part woods so when you put Part wood altogether very carefully Very easy break it and very hard not easy make film altogether.
Bought for my brother in laws birthday, he has boundless patience with puzzles and I’m sure he’ll enjoy doing it. Arrived promptly and pleased to say with no extra useless packaging!
Haven’t even finished creating the model yet but already looks great on my mantle piece ! It’s very fun to build and is tricky at some points which makes it a challenge. Highly recommend!
This is great fun to put together, really good quality, but a part without spares has broken. A few more spares in the box would be handy. Can I have a replacement piece sent to me?
Some hints, so you don’t go postal (and the instructions don;t say it…)
1. The metals axis holding the gears can turn, if you don’t apply enough pressure while putting the yellow rings in place. Those are the very imprtant parts of the assembly. The position of the yellow plastic rings and the pressure will hold the gears in the right place and won;t let the rotate separately form the axis. Don’t even think about lubricating the metal parts!!!
2. I recommend starting with assembling the jigs. These are parts are named like T1-1 and 2, T2-1 up to T2-8 and T3.
3. At the end, be sure the escapament wheel is aligned. In my case is wasn’t and the gear train stucked. After slight adjustment it worker perfectly.
4. I applied some grease on the gears. Less friction, less noise. Especially those, which spin fast.
5. Is something does not work, remove the pendulum. At his moment, the gear train starts to accelerate and turn fast. If this does not happen, something is misaligned. Maybe the axles got out of the holes.
6. The top of the assembly with the wood rods is trash. Also, if tyou tighten too much, it will apply extra force on the gears and the gears may stop spinning. Took me a while to figure out. Look at the frame from the top and the sides, it should be parallel / perpendicular.
7. Don’t buy it for little kids. This is not LEGO. For me it took about 4-5 hours to assemble, but I am an engineer. For others it may took longer. If you are a pro DYI guy, you can finish it in 2-3 hours.
I enjoyed this a lot, would do it again.
