Description

What time is it? It's nope o'clock !

A small & simple clock for your desk: 3 blocks, 5 faces, 4 hands: 60 variations !

Select the parts and create your own clock !

  • 3 blocks : corner, flat or hexa
  • 5 faces : dots, dashes, numbers, “ho no” or “it's nope o'clock”
  • 4 hands sets : round, pointy, line or hexa
  • one extra part to hide the center of the clock : the biboutz
    Mix and match the parts, use several colors or not, and enjoy your desk clock :)

Recommendations for printing

  • use 0.05mm resolution for clock hands, biboutz and the face with numbers
  • use 0.20mm for all the other parts
  • don't forget to add supports for the blocks

Gravity

You'll notice gravity exists on earth and therefore, you'll need to add additional weight on the “corner” block for that it stays in place. there are 2 spaces in the block where you can add some coins to add some weight. Tested with two 50cents coins, it can also help you to store money for emergencies at the coffee machine.

Closing the clock

Secure the clock back with a little bit of masking tape around the rods to make them a little bit thicker and stay in place.

Mechanism

Use the quartz clock mechanism with a small shaft ( 55x55x 13mm) like this one : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B08SJDZHLT
