Gear Clock

Since I only found laser cut versions of this type of clock, I decided to take on the challenge and design my own version. It features a black background in the top section because I really wanted white numbers, but they became nearly invisible against the wall. If you prefer not to have this, simply print the clock without the wall bracket and mount the clockwork directly to the wall. The clock has a substantial footprint and is designed for printing on a CR-10 or similar-sized printers. Everything can be assembled without glue, except for the clockwork which needs to be glued into the wall bracket. This design utilizes a standard clock mechanism that I borrowed from an old wall clock and should work with most available mechanisms, possibly requiring adjustments to the wall bracket as well as the hole in the small gear. Additionally, I removed one gear inside so the shaft setting hours spins freely, which helps hold the small gear in place and provides more stability. Here is a short time-lapse video showing the clock in action: https://youtu.be/pgFnwKWl_P0
