Board Game Wall Clock

Boost Me If you like my models then please boost me to say thanks :)

I needed a clock for the wall of my board games room, so thought I'd design something that incorporated some themes from gaming without being too specific to a single game.

Easiest to print on a H series or A2L (choose the large plate profile)

Possible to print on A1, X and P series: SEE THE SECTION AT THE BOTTOM!

DO NOT PRINT FROM THE HANDY APP TO A SMALL PRINTER (A1, X, P series).

The outer rim screws on in pieces (3.5mm diameter 16mm length screws worked fine, but it should be flexible). You can also pop matchsticks in as guides and glue the pieces on.

There is an integrated slot on one of the edge pieces for hanging. You can put this unique edge piece at any location around the rim to have the clock hang in an orientation of your choice.

The central hole is a snug fit and the clock shaft will screw directly into the hole meaning you don't need to put any fixtures on the front surface to hold the mechanism on (eg no need for a washer and nut). Measure your shaft and the hole before printing and add a negative part cylinder to widen the hole if your shaft diameter is too large.

The mechanism I used has a shaft length of 18.5mm. Ticking and silent versions are available on amazon, temu, and aliexpress.

The bambu clock mechanism they sell on their site seems to have a shorter shaft so might require a small negative cuboid on the reverse to dig a little hole for the mechanism to sit in.

Also measure the mounting points for your clock hands as you might need to widen the holes in the hands if your mechanism isn't the same as mine. You can always scrape the holes out with a knife after if needed, or use the hands that came with your mechanism.

~~~ SMALL PLATE INSTRUCTIONS ONLY ~~~

ENABLE THE PRIME TOWER. MAKERWORLD WON'T ACCEPT THE SMALL PLATE UPLOAD WITH IT ENABLED AS IT GETS QUITE CLOSE TO THE PLATE EDGE.

The main part of the clock face is sized to JUST fit on a normal A1 sized plate. If you are printing on a 256*256 bed then please note that I have had to customise the prime volumes for the filaments (decreased to 9mm^3) so that the prime tower fits on with the clock face. If you don't want to do this you can also turn off the prime tower. Please double check that bambu studio hasn't moved the prime tower off the plate or into the model.
