Clock Hands for Antique American Movement with 2 inch dial
thingiverse
I'm restoring an antique mechanical carriage clock from the 1880's by the Boston Clock Company. I got the clock at a garage sale for $2 because it was so dirty, beat up, and not in working condition. It's restoration has been going very well, I have the movement working smoothly and it's keeping good time; but I couldn't find hands to fit it. Hands for a 2" diameter dial that will fit and look good on an antique clock are very hard to come by. I finally decided to print a set. I liked the design of hand 1 from the Makerbot cuckoo clock so I modified it for use on my working antique clock. I'm very happy with how well they turned out. See for yourself, the ones I printed are installed on the clock in the picture! Instructions I printed these in black PLA at a lower than usual temnperature (205 deg C) for my printer. I used .12mm for all layers including the first; no brim, and no support. These settings minimized the amount of cleanup required.
