FullMetal Alchemist The Silver Pocket Watch

Hi Everyone, Here's the Silver pocket watch from FullMetal Alchemist, which I believe is the most accurate representation available, based on my research. To get the best results, print it as finely as possible. However, I've separated the emblem on top for easier sanding. As you can see in the picture attached, this process requires some effort. You'll need a 45mm domed watch glass cover to complete this project. Finding one might be challenging, but you should be able to locate it on Aliexpress or similar websites. Additionally, you'll require 2mm metal rod or welding filler - aluminium works best since it resembles silver anyway. Some 1mm paper clips will also come in handy for the hinge assembly. Unfortunately, you'll need to modify the locking mechanism. Theoretically, a 0.5x3mm spring should work, but print quality may affect its functionality. Assembly should be relatively straightforward, and there are plenty of reference images available online to guide you through the process. By the way, the model rendering incorrectly depicted the watch face; however, applying the PDF like in the reference image will produce accurate results. Now, go ahead and have fun with this project! The original 2004 Fullmetal Alchemist anime series is one of my favorites due to its unique approach. At that time, the manga wasn't completed yet, and the production team adapted their ideas instead of waiting. This resulted in a more realistic and brutal storyline. Or perhaps, some storylines were too childish for the intended audience? Either way, this project is now available for free online!
