Description

 

Inspired by a watch I used to own many (many) years ago in my youth… takes a little while to get used to the offset of the hands but when you nail it the joy is watching other peoples confusion over trying to tell the time with it

 

Designed around the Bambu Labs clock kit-011 the clock unit simply clips into the back with no need to use the securing nuts. the clock can be hung using a countersunk 3.5mm dia screw of whatever length you need for the surface you are hanging it on

 

The hour and minute hands are designed to push fit onto the clock spindle but the sizing is based on the kit I received at the time of designing and I am aware that the movements have been known to vary… if the hands are tight then you can trim them with a sharp craft knife (No. 11 blade)… 

 

I have bought movements from Amazon in the past and while the movement itself fits fine in the clock the spindle diameter and length can vary…

 

The amazon movement is on the left, the Bambu Labs movement is on the right….

 

I have measured a Kit-011 and an Amazon supplied movement and found that the spindle length is longer on the 011 kit vs the Amazon unit… the hour/minute hand spindle diameters also differed so just be aware…

 

The hands are designed with the following sizing of the Bambu Labs kit…
Hour hand I/D = 5.1mm
Minute hand   I/D = 3.2mm

 

The seconds hand is optional… I originally printed it with a boss to push onto the less than 1mm dia seconds hand spindle and found it was too small to print reliably… you could use a 0.2mm nozzle to improve the accuracy but I decided to go a different route…

Using the seconds hand supplied with the 011 kit I separated the hand from the centre boss

 

Once separated you then insert it into the hole of the seconds hand… its likely to be tight so again you can relieve it a little with a craft knife

I used a little super glue to make sure its all held together fine and then align all the hands to 12 o'clock before setting the time.

 

The hanger will hold the correct orientation but the 4 thicker lines are 12, 3, 6 and 9 respectively

I need a touch more detail to assemble this. A direct side view of the assembled clock would help. I presume the mounting order is hour hand at bottom? Should the metal part of the shaft protrude through the hole in the clock face? When I printed this, there were no marks on the face. Did you paint those? The Bambu movement kit also includes a soft spacer with an indentation for the washer. With the metal part of the shaft being completely underneath the face, the spacer prevents the hands from mounting onto the shaft.

Here you go.... Yes so the hr hand at the bottom, the the minute hand and second hand last if you printed it Metal part will stick out a little (see pic) The marks should be pre painted in the 3mf... There should be 2 filaments in the profile (black and white) and requires an ams to print No spacer or additional hardware is required for mounting the movement... You simply clip it in the back... Battery compartment opposite the hanger as per the pictures

The kit comes with a spacer, washer and nut. And hands. That must be for other clocks that don't already have hands and need more support. I see from your pic that the metal part should be through the hole so it can hold the hour hand. I will enlarge the hole slightly so this can be done.

the hour hand doesn't fit on the brass coloured metal bit if thats what you mean?.. the plastic centre bits are the bits that rotate... the lower larger diameter one is for the hour hand, the smaller top portion is for the minute hand and the small metal rod in the centre is for the second hand... I designed the clock to not need all the supplied fixing nuts and washers and the hands should just press fit over the plastic shafts.... I have attached a pic that hopefully makes this a bit clearer
