Nightstand Clock MH011 with a Puck Light

This was a fun project. Nightstand clock with a puck light that can be activated by pushing down on the clock.

 

The colors I used are more suggestions than something that you should use. They are what I wanted to use.

 

As is you are going to need some sanding to make parts fit. If you'd want things to fit better, don't overextrude (I changed the plastic to overextrude). But after some sanding it went well and I like it. Or just change the tolerance setting in the scad.

 

The second dial requires you to cut up the second dial of the clock mechanism and gluing it to the center.

 

The .scad file included so you can edit yours if you want. Instructions from the .scad file here:

 

/*  How to create stls
* Clockface:
* - Need to create hours and the clockface separately
* - Hour
* -- make_hour true, others false
* - Clockface
* -- make_clockface, make_clockface_differences, make_clockholder, make_magnet true, others false
* Base:
* - Base, outer, make sure make_clockface_differences is set to false
* -- make_bottom, make_magnet, make_light_button true, others false
* - Base bottom
* - make_magnet, make_light_button_bottom true, others false
* 
* Without magnets you can just disable magnets on all
* Without the light in the base, you can just keep make_light_button false and don't create the make_light_button_bottom
*
*  How to slice
* - When importing, import clockface and hours at the same time
* -- Import them as a single object with multiple parts
* -- Change the colors as you wish, for example clockface colored, hours transparent
* - Import other parts separately and color them however you want
* - Change the light_button_bottom to use arachne
*
*/

For the dials, just create the dials and import the second dial and pointer as one and color them however you want.

 

Would be cool if you made this, if you posted a picture.

 

Requires the clock components kit, magnets and the puck light. Can be made without the magnets and the puck light. Lots of settings in the scad if you want to change up things. The mentioned filaments are just suggestions.

 

Boost MeThis took quite a while to make. Hope you like it :)
