Roman Water Clock

thingiverse

This is a Roman Water Clock designed specifically for the PCS Latin Week Competition. To assemble it, you will need to print two identical uprights and one copy of all other parts. Each piece must be scaled to exactly the same size in order to ensure accurate timekeeping. The uprights, back, base, top, clock face, gear, and rack should all be printed horizontally side by side. In contrast, the reservoir, tube, pin, and stabilizer need to be printed vertically from bottom to top. To achieve optimal results, the funnel should be printed upside down so that more of its surface area is in contact with the print plate. The gear requires supports for the pointer during printing, while the tube needs both supports and a raft to prevent warping or curling. Finally, the rack and float should have low infill percentages to minimize their overall weight without sacrificing structural integrity.
