<h3>What to Print</h3><p>There are three parts you can print: a clock face, a frame, and a wall-mount bracket. Slicing and printing settings for each part are described below. In addition to printed parts, you will need a clock mechanism like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXWJFPW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;language=en_GB&amp;psc=1">this</a> one. Total print time is between 11 and 13 hours.</p><h5>Clock Faces</h5><p>First, chose a clock face to print from the “Files” section.  The Faces are labeled as shown:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/68427/rich_content/3c7e3d71-843b-4737-9071-0e1a221b6832/capture.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%220db251e9-ebcf-4792-b4b0-d1b114a706d6%22%2C%22w%22%3A2529%2C%22h%22%3A534%7D"/></figure><p> </p><p>Print Settings:</p><ol><li>Orientation should look like the photo below</li><li>PLA</li><li>No supports</li><li>0.2mm layer height</li><li>All additional settings (color change, variable layer height) are included in the 3mf files.</li></ol><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/68427/rich_content/d95716d7-b01d-4271-a390-9608161e38a8/screen-shot-2021-06-09-at-21317-pm.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22ad58b6b9-e5b5-4668-95af-6091588d3dea%22%2C%22w%22%3A1475%2C%22h%22%3A476%7D"/></figure><h5>Frames</h5><p>There are two frames.
