Nightmare before XMAS Clock Face

prusaprinters

DISCLAIMER: I did not produce the original design for this clock. I had a version of this clock that was laser cut from a vinyl record that fell off the wall and shattered. This design was produced by taking photos of each shard and digitally reconstructing it, removing some unprintable elements, and optimizing it for 3D printing. This process took well over a week of late nights on Photoshop and MatterHacker. I have seen thousands of different versions of this clock all over Etsy (all cut from Vinyl Records) so I wasn't able to track down the true original artist, if you know who that is, please leave a comment so they can be rightfully attributed. Clock Movement Used: Mudder Silence Quartz Clock Movement, 11/25 Inch Maximum Dial Thickness, 4/5 Inch Total Shaft Length (White) I intentionally made the center hole for the clock shaft 0.5mm smaller so it has a snug fit, you can easily widen this with an Xacto Knife or even just a kitchen knife to suite your clock movements needs. This was designed to be printed on a Prusa MK3S+, I sized this to be exactly as large as the print bed would allow for. Be careful when scaling for other printers as the center hole may become too small. I recommend you print slowly, especially on the first layer and make sure your Z-Height is spot on, otherwise the finer details will get blurred. You will need something to affix to the back of the clock movement to mount it to the wall (if you use the one above- others have built in hangers). I personally used some super glue and attached Geotk's Handy Picture Hanger. Also included in the files are 2 GCODE files for a Prusa MK3S+ with PLA filament- one with ironing and one without. I like the non-ironed version, as it looks a bit more like the surface of the vinyl record my original one was cut from. Print Settings Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: i3 MK3 MMU 2Rafts: No Supports: NoResolution: 0.10mm Infill: 15 Filament: Hatchbox PLA Black Notes: STL is set to the exact printable size of an MK3S+ bed, In prusaslicer go to Print Settings tab and set Skirt loops to 0. You may wish to use a release agent on the bed, as this is very thin and very hard for me to remove since it flexes with the bed. I cut and taped some bight white card stock behind the lettering to make it pop, since my walls are grey it wasn't easy to read. Category: Interactive Art
