If the holes are too small, use a sandpaper or knife to enlarge them. Once the hands are attached, move them both to midnight and set the correct time using the dial on the back. <img src="http://www.tonythings.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/step-3.jpg" alt="Assembly step 3" width="1920" height="1175" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2838" /> If you want, add a minute hand to the clock by cutting down the red minute hand that comes with the clock movement. <h2>Step 4</h2> Insert the front part into the back of the clock, twisting the front legs to an angle that allows the prongs on the front to pass through. <img src="http://www.tonythings.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/step-4.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1505" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2839" /> <h2>Step 5</h2> Finally, fixate the front to the back by rotating the front legs approximately 15 degrees. Remember to avoid using force when twisting the legs, or else the prongs on the front might break. <img src="http://www.tonythings.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/step-5.jpg" alt="Assembly step 5" width="1920" height="1505" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2840" /> And you're done! If you make the clock, please upload pictures of your results. I'd love to see the clock in different colors and materials! <img src="https://www.tonythings.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Bobo-clock-on-desktop.jpg" alt="3D printable clock on desk" width="2300" height="1533" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2833" /> <a class="post-more" href="http://www.tonythings.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BoBo-Clock-v1.zip">Download Design</a>
