Game of Thrones Desk Calendar

####UPDATE#### I've just uploaded a Walking Dead top that's a modified version of the original design. Although it's not yet printed, I'm excited to share my first project using Fusion 360. Despite finding the program frustrating at times, I think the results are impressive and it's definitely worth learning, especially since it's completely free: https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/fusion-360/overview. To adjust the calendar, simply turn one of four dials by moving a pull-out knob on the side. My original design didn't account for friction when rotating the outer spindle, so I added four little brakes to keep everything in place. These require a small spring, which I fortunately had leftover from my bobble head project: 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 originally designed to be attached with a small piece of filament, but due to shrinkage during printing, the holes were too small. Instead, I used a length of copper wire from an old electrical cable and bent it into place. My model was printed with 20% infill and supports, along with a brim for the top. ###TIP### When painting my model, I forgot to paint the spaces between the parts, assuming they wouldn't be visible. However, these areas are now visible, so don't make the same mistake by leaving them unpainted.
