Design Concept

The Gear Clock features an engaging, interactive mechanical design, showcasing visible gear rotations orchestrated in an artful arrangement. The gear is designed around any standard clock mechanism with 7mm threads.

Purpose

This clock is more than just a timekeeper. It's a statement piece that adds a dynamic aesthetic element to any room, designed with non-CFS users in mind. You can customize it and choose whichever colours you would like. *Please upload your makes for others to see!*

Printing Recommendations

Print with any infill desired
Ironing is recommended on the gears only.
Designed for both CFS and non-CFS printers
Please refer to the gear names and locations provided under the images.

Remember to print 2 sets of the "double stacked center pins", 3 sets of the "short center pins", and one washer to raise up "c-gear".

Assembly Instructions

The design was made with center pins for each gear as well as pillars which are already attached to the "Top plate" and will be glued to the "Bottom plate" with any super glue.

1. Gears "L, F and N" can be installed onto the "Bottom plate" by applying glue to the Bottom plate's respective holes and then aligning the center pins and gears appropriately.
2. "V Gear" is the trickiest to install since it has holes which align with pins on the "Top Plate". It is recommended to place install the V gear to the "Top Plate" and then install the Top Plate.
3. Install the "Top Plate" by adding glue to the respective holes on the "Bottom Plate"
4. Install the "C Gear" by first placing the "Washer", then "C Gear" and then adding glue to the respective hole on the "Bottom Plate" and installing the "Double Stacked Center Pin".
5. Turn the clock around and install the "Back Spiral Gear" using the appropriate "center pin".
6. Finally, install the clock mechanism with the appropriate thread and Nut (Some Clock mechanisms do not grip this clock well enough - in which case, use glue to ensure the clock does not rotate)
7. Hang the clock wherever your heart desires.
