Lazy Susan Clock
Description
*[English] A short video to explain the design process:* https://youtu.be/UDRHcyCzoGo *[Francais] Une petite video pour tout expliquer:* https://youtu.be/1BMoDVU0LKM Tadam! This is the Lazy Susan Clock. Just slide a pair of these motorized lazy susans under a couple of small-ish objects on your desk. You'll then be able to tell the time by just looking at the orientation of whatever you put on top of them ! This is a timelapse of the Lazy Susan Clock: https://youtu.be/OcOzPO-VBRc *Note: you can also buy a set of these directly from me! Just go to my Etsy shop:* https://mojoptix.etsy.com <h2>List of Ingredients</h2> To build a full set (hours and minutes), you will need: <ul> <li>2x clock movements (with a couple of hands) : <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Satisfounder-Non-Ticking-Mechanism-Replacement-Different/dp/B07T3CFT35/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=non+ticking&qid=1593524903&refinements=p_72:1248909011,p_85:2470955011&refresh=1&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=hardware&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=mojoptix-20&linkId=00fa816189f6cbf7bc293321af6b9503&language=en_US">https://www.amazon.com/Satisfounder-Non-Ticking-Mechanism-Replacement-Different/dp/B07T3CFT35/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=non+ticking&qid=1593524903&refinements=p_72:1248909011,p_85:2470955011&refresh=1&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=hardware&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=mojoptix-20&linkId=00fa816189f6cbf7bc293321af6b9503&language=en_US</a> </li> <li>2x ball bearing 688-2RS : <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Satisfounder-Non-Ticking-Mechanism-Replacement-Different/dp/B07T3CFT35/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=non+ticking&qid=1593524903&refinements=p_72:1248909011,p_85:2470955011&refresh=1&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=hardware&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=mojoptix-20&linkId=00fa816189f6cbf7bc293321af6b9503&language=en_US">https://www.amazon.com/Satisfounder-Non-Ticking-Mechanism-Replacement-Different/dp/B07T3CFT35/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=non+ticking&qid=1593524903&refinements=p_72:1248909011,p_85:2470955011&refresh=1&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=hardware&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=mojoptix-20&linkId=00fa816189f6cbf7bc293321af6b9503&language=en_US</a> </li> <li>16x M4 screws, 20 mm long, with conical/countersunk heads </li> <li>16x M4 nuts </li> </ul> You'll need to 3D print every STL components twice, except those with a filename ending with "_Hours" or "_Minutes". It should about 24 hours and 200 grams of plastic to 3D print everything. <h2>Glue the Coupler_clock_xx to the hand </h2> To attach the "Coupler_clock_Minutes" to the clock, you can simply re-use the original Minutes hand for the clock: <ul> <li>cut the branch of the hand to keep only the central part.</li> <li>glue it under the 3D printed part. Make sure that the hole for the clock axis is perfectly centered with the hole in the 3D printed part.</li> </ul> Then simply repeat the procedure with the "Coupler_clock_Minutes" part and a Hours hand. <h2>Assembly</h2> The rest of the assembly is really straightforward. I would maybe just have one recommendation: move the clock movement in place *before* assembling the "Top_Minutes" (or "Top_Hours"). This will allow you to visually check that the "Coupler_top" and "Coupler_clock_Minutes" (or "Coupler_clock_Hours") components are interlocking as they should.
