Booknook Clock

cults3d

Book nooks are spaces on your bookshelf occupied by small Dioramas that bring to life the scenes and creatures that normally occupy the pages of the books that surround them. Today though we are going to do something slightly different and bring to life a time machine with a clock face and gears reminiscent of the Steampunk era. In truth, a small 3D printed clock driven by a steel clock spring and a small pendulum is lit from the top with a short length of LED lights powered by a 9volt battery. My version created here has a space at the rear that can be used for adding more furniture and fittings normally available from Dolls house suppliers at 1/12 scale. I have added a simple Mirror to the prototype to show the gears and pendulum from the rear. The clock will run for 6.5 hours and should be capable of running to an accuracy of +/- 5 minutes in that time.
