<p>On watching PRUSA Live episode26 and hearing about the Timekeeper competition I knew exactly what I wanted to make.</p><p>I couldn't make a space clock face without using Prusa Galaxy Black PLA filament!</p><p><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/x20x37c6n2r0aah/IMG_0475.MOV?dl=0">Video Link of Clock in Motion</a></p><p>The face is 170mm diameter, 3mm thick and a 8mm diameter hole for the clock mechanism.&nbsp;</p><p>The size was a conscious decision to be able to print on both Prusa FDM machines.</p><p>The clock numbers and two star constellations are printed on top of the face.</p><p>The Constellations being Orion (and its glowing star ‘Betelgeuse’) the other being ’Pleiades' the logo of Subaru, (a fantastic constellation to view with a pair of binoculars), being new stars they have &nbsp;a beautiful blue colour.</p><p>I wanted to add something else so I added the Galaxy and Comet by hand, I used a wooden tooth pick/cocktail stick and a mixture of acrylic paints, using a dabbing action.</p><p>I purchased a cheap clock mechanism online, I needed one with a second hand to have the spaceship running around.</p><p>Initially I created the hands in the same filament as I knew I wanted to paint the objects bright silver and at first glance give the appearance they are floating in space.&nbsp;</p><p>I ran into a problem with the second hand as I used my own pin to hold it in place. Unfortunately&nbsp;I could not get the friction I needed to make it work with the rocket.</p><p>Therefore I used a hand that came with the clock. &nbsp;I cut it down to size before gluing a stand-alone rocket to it.</p><p>I have include a couple of clock hand that may work. But to make life easier I have added all models as stand-alone to glue to the clocks hands.</p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/33026-rocket-space-x-and-iss-extruder-wheel-indicator-is">A link to me extruder indicator with the same theme.</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
