Clock Case - Classical Architecture Style

thingiverse

This clock case was designed with a 10-millimetre centre hole for use with standard quartz mechanisms, although if you have a spare mechanical movement, there might be room for one if you prefer such a clock. The triangular front of the roof is a place for ornamental features of your choosing. I have a lion's head in that area. In my opinion, the part I've called "lower top" is best printed in the orientation shown (upside down); The same applies for the roof. But of course the decision is yours. The size of course is also your choice, but remember to keep the centre hole to the desired diameter. My printer is a delta printer with a 250mm diameter build plate so I was able to print it at the size shown. If you are printing the clock case at the size I've uploaded, prepare yourself for some very long print times. I was mad enough to print it at a layer height of 0.06 mm; this meant that the larger parts all had print times well in excess of 24 hours. In other words at that quality and size the print will take many days. With this in mind, make doubly sure that you have enough filament. After I started one print I realised that we'd been having a lower of power cuts lately... fortunately I was lucky. Support: I successfully printed the clock case with "support from build plate only". The voids on the "underside" of some parts is an attempt by me to prevent warping. As always, you can amend or remove these voids in line with your preferences and/or experience. I designed the clock with inspiration from an existing clock, although the result is unique. Remixes: I'd love to see any that you might come up with.
