Game of Thrones Desk Calendar

I've uploaded a Walking Dead-inspired design to share with you. It's a modification of the original, and this was my first project using Fusion 360. Although I found learning the program frustrating at times, I think the results are excellent and it's definitely worth learning, especially since it's completely free: https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/fusion-360/overview. To set the calendar, simply move the pull-out knob on the side to one of four positions to turn the corresponding dial. My initial design didn't account for the friction of the outer spindle moving all the dials, so I added four small brakes. These require a tiny spring, and I originally planned to print some plastic ones, but since I intended to perpendicularly glue the model together, I decided against it in case they snapped. Instead, I used a spring from my bobble head project and simply trimmed it to size: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EOIEM7U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The brake levers were initially designed to attach with a small piece of filament, and I sized the holes at 1.8mm, but due to shrinkage during printing, the holes became too small. I finally used a short length of copper wire from an old household electrical cable and bent the end to secure it in place. The entire model was printed with a 20% infill, using supports and a brim for the top.
