Funky gears clock

thingiverse

This clock was created by request of my friend Vladimir Kulagin. He wanted some custom clocks for his country house (as russians says - dacha). So after few weeks of disputation we have found the concept and I've began to create. Here you can see the result. The clock can be printed on any printer with print table of at least 200x200 mm, because the main gear has diameter of 196 mm. All gears has only decoration functions, so you can turn them by hand. If you want to print one, you'll have to purchase clock movement, barometer and thermometer. <strong>Here are links to the ones we have used in the project:</strong> <a href="https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/1/32681908298.html">Movement</a> <a href="https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-Humidity-Thermometer-Meters-Round-Clock-shaped-Indoor-Outdoor-Hygrometer-Humidity-Temperature-Meter-Gauge-Mar9-45/32796561776.html">Thermometer</a> <a href="https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/72/32838369628.html">Barometer</a> Pay attension: in our project we have painted the barometer and termometer cases, because originally one is white and other has chrome coating. To screw the rays to the base you'll need screws m3 8mm long as well. We used m3x8 screws with ⌀6mm flat heads. You can print and use the clocks without barometer and thermometer if you like so. Main case (base.stl) has 3 mounting holes. Central one can be used when the clock are used without barometer and thermometer. If the thermometer and barometer are mounted, please use two mounting holes on the sides. Distance between the screws is 70 mm. Use screws with heads ⌀ less than 10mm. You'll have to print 12 pcs of Ray_simple.stl and 12 pcs of Gear_small.stl for clock without barometer and thermometer. If you decide to make clock with barometer and thermometer, than print 8 pcs of Ray_simple.stl and four Ray_holder_x4.stl. <strong>Clock handles are in two variants:</strong> <strong>1st: with lumi covers</strong> Print files: Hand_hour_base.stl - black basement Hand_hour_yellow.stl - main color insert with cut-outs for lumi foots Hand_hour_lumi.stl - lumi cover Hand_minutes_base.stl - black basement Hand_minutes_yellow.stl - main color insert with cut-outs for lumi foots Hand_minutes_lumi.stl - lumi cover <strong>2nd: withput lumi covers</strong> Print files: Hand_hour_base.stl - black basement Hand_hour_yellow_only.stl - solid main color insert Hand_minutes_base.stl - black basement Hand_minutes_yellow_only.stl - solid main color insert To glue the hour numbers to the small gears we used gauge (numbers_gauge.stl). Assembled all gears, rays and basement, than fixed the main gear not to spin (Pay attention: main gear spokes should be lined with rays of the small gears.), than placed gauge and gluesd numbers on each gear one by one with CA glue. On the photo and video you can see the V1 of the clock (with central black washer on the mine gear and only one central mounting hole). Files are from v2 - no washer and 3 mounting hols on the base of the clock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U7eUwA1He4 Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you have in comments!
