2-axes Clock, 59 cm wide

The diameter of this sturdy wall clock is 38 cm, and its width is 59 cm. All parts can be printed on Ender 3 sized bed. Printing it consumes roughly 600 grams of PLA.

It is compatible with Euroshaft high torque mechanisms for 5 mm thick front plate. If you buy the hands instead of printing them, the minute hand should be appr. 16 cm long. If you print the included hands, note that the fitting is tight, so you may need to carefully enlarge the holes of the hands. If the minute hand feels too thick, you can carefully widen its hole on the underside or print a thinner hand by sinking it 0.4 mm below the bed in the slicer.

Note: Use the spacer under the clock mechanism nut. Scale its height according to your need.

The parts can be printed without supports, expect the center, which requires supports. I printed the parts in PLA with 0.2mm layers, 2 walls, 4 bottom and 5 top layers. To keep the consumption of the material low, I used the following support settings in CURA: 14% zigzag infill, 2 infill steps, 2 mm step height. This setting effectively starts with 3.5% infill, then changes to 7% 4 mm before the top, and to 14% 2 mm before the top.

I built the clock in the following way:

• glue together the ring using the 8 smaller pegs, test that the center fits in.
• glue together the axes and the handles,
• after final painting, glue together the whole clock.

The mainline of my paint process concerning the ring, the center and the axes:

• paint with gold color.
• apply several layers of black an dark brown wash in places you want.
• dry brush with gold.
• finish with clear glossy lacquer.
