Floating Gear Clock 3D print model

The clock mechanism floats in mid-air, anchored by a substantial gear that rests upon a smaller one attached to the minute hand shaft. The smaller gear boasts two washers, which must be carefully glued into place to prevent the larger gear from escaping its perch. To achieve this precarious balance, one must first attach the two washers to the small gear, then press fit it onto the clock's minute shaft (visible in close-up photos). With a delicate touch, apply a minimal amount of super glue to secure the assembly in place, being sure not to come into contact with the hour or second sections. Once this step is complete, one can proceed to paint on the numbers and tick marks as showcased in the accompanying photos.
