3D PRINTABLE CASIO WATCH
Description
I made this watch in 2016 when my partners trusted Casio MQ24 broke and needed a replacement. 2 Years later the watch is still running fine. How is it made? Pretty simple. The guts of the MQ24 fit snug in the case, and the 'glass' is friction fit up front. There are a few protruding 'bumps' on the back of the MQ24s guts which you'll need to push back for the back cover of the watch to fit. I ran a bit of hot glue all around the edges of the back of the watch and pressed the back plate in. The back can easily be replaced by running a tiny amount of 99.9 Alcohol around the edge and popping out the back with a small screwdriver. You'll also need a 0.5mm / 1mm drill bit to clear up the hole for the crown with the tiny pin to go through. If the crown + pin don't 'click' when pressed back in the watch, gently file down some of the nub on the side of the body. If V29.2 doesn't allow the glass to be pressed in, try V29.3. You have now got yourself a brand new watch :) I've done a fair bit of testing with different materials and can highly recommend to use the softest flexible material you can find for the strap. I used FlexiSmart from Fillamentum. Tougher materials will leave you with an edge that is constantly cutting in your arm. Not pleasant. It's lost it's water resistance, but it's held up to washing the dishes daily and cycling daily for 2 years through Englands seasons. I have made various versions of this and sent these to friends across the world for testing. After 2 years of real world use they have yet to fail. Print these in any material you like. I've had great success with pla, abs and wood filament (in photo). Good luck :)
