Grandfather Clock Case for EC1515B and DS1302 Rotating Clock Kits

cults3d

I crafted this EC1515B clock kit several years ago and it has simply sat idle without a case ever since. There are other 3D printable cases out there for these clocks, but I being me, wanted something truly one-of-a-kind. To my knowledge, no one has ever housed one in a grandfather clock. This model is printed in multiple sections without supports for any component, as long as the pieces are printed in the orientation in which they are presented. I printed the pins with a brim, but if you can print these without one, I would highly recommend doing so - they are a real pain to remove. As small as they are, it's surprising how stubborn they can be. For assembly, you will need four 3mm nuts; four 3mm bolts, 10mm long; and eight 3mm bolts, 8mm long. Assembly is pretty straightforward. The finials are glued in place with pins. The topper is screwed to the main face with 3mm bolts. The main face is screwed to the central portion with 3mm bolts. The central section is glued to the base with pins. The spindles are glued in place on the main face, aligning the corners of the spindles with the corners of the main face. The clock itself is screwed to the main face with 3mm x 10mm bolts and nuts. The main face lid is screwed in place with 3mm bolts. The finished product is right at 14" tall. If you print this, I would really appreciate two things: 1) Please upload a [Make] and 2) It'd be awesome if you could show your appreciation for my hard work by tipping me a little something. I put a lot of effort into creating this model and I am pretty proud of it. If you would like to donate using bitcoin, you can do so via my address: 1DdWx5E86iQsVam361q3T4qMGKXdGBRCxx.
