Teach a child to tell the time

The teaching clock can be a compelling and engaging 3D printing project as it serves as a dual-purpose teaching aid. Firstly, it effectively teaches young children to tell time using a traditional clock rather than relying on digital displays from their phones. Secondly, the mechanism employed creates a unique 12:1 ratio between the hour and minute hands, providing an educational twist.

This project requires minimal supports, only some adjustments to ensure proper fitting of the main shaft. The teaching clock is designed for interactive learning, allowing teachers or children to hold it by the round handle and manipulate the hands to set a time or answer questions. I'm proud to share this as my second 3D printing venture, having used a Zortrax M200 printer that I'm still getting familiar with. While I've gained some experience, I wouldn't recommend using the same settings for others due to my limited confidence in the printer's capabilities at this stage. My first project was printing a functional skeleton clock, which you can see on my website at woodenclocks under Clock 13 FDM 3d printed clock.
