Description
Shiura designed an amazing clock that appears to work by some kind of magic, the family love it. But up on top of a dresser the bottom of the clock was hidden. This stand lifts the clock by any amount you want. I wanted something between 35 and 40mm, so settled on a lift of 37.5mm - and that is what is in the .stl files. Both 80% and 100% stands are that height. The link to the stand is: https://www.printables.com/model/1232895-stand-for-triaxial-numechron-clock-parametric-conf
My design is in OpenSCAD. The parameters are all named so it should be straightforward to get the size you want for whichever size of clock you have printed.
To change the stand's height for your own clock, in the OpenSCAD file find this parameter “elevation = 37.5”; and change the number to whatever height you want.
My code is set for an 80% clock. To make your own stand for a 100% clock, follow the instructions at the top of the file. OpenSCAD uses // (two slashes) for a comment so to uncomment remove the slashes, to add a comment type two slashes as the first two in the line to be commented out.
No supports, rafts or anything else are needed. To keep the filament usage down I've made a honeycomb for the base using a neat little algorithm by “Bushmills” (link in the .scad file).
