3D Intelligent Clock "SmartClock" - For Teaching Cildren How To Tell The Time

thingiverse

This 3D Intelligent clock will help with childrens ability to tell the time but also how to visualise the words. It is simple to assemble, without needing any screws, bolts or gears to assemble, making it reversable, reasonably unbreakable and compact for storage. Custom Section How To Assemble Step 1: Print out all of the STL files Step 2: Set down, on a flat surface, the "Clock Bottom" Step 3: Insert the "Clock Dial" hole through the tube part of the "Clock Bottom" Step 4a: Insert the "Minute Hand Base" hole through the central tube part of the "Clock Bottom" and align the 4 holes with the 4 points on the "Clock Dial" Step 4b: A washer may be needed depending on the quality of the print. Step 5a: Insert the "Clock" and place it on top of the "Minute Hand Base" Step 5b: Twist the "Clock" so that it reads 'O'Clock' where the arrows of the "Clock" point. Step 6a: Whilst aligning the hand so that it directs to the number '12' on the "Clock", insert the "Minute Hand" through the central tube and push down on it. The 4 holes at the bottom should fit into the 4 small points on "Minute Hand Base" Push & Wiggle on the top force the points in. Step 6b: Move the "Minute Hand" to see if it makes the "Clock Dial" move - If so move to step 7. Step 7: Insert the "Hour Hand" - This is a free-standing hand. You're all complete! Project: SmartClock "Project SmartClock" was about making a manually operated clock that would display the time in a worded format and would be robust at the same time. Having central screws with plastic hands would allow for snaps or cracks. Having no screw means that if any part is pulled with force it wouldn't break but rather disassemble - This makes it useful for school enviroments. SmartClock is not designed to be held upright; it is to be set down on a level surface.
