Description

Nalrod Digital Clock

Original Clock

A replica tribute to the “Peter digital alarm clock”.

I model the exterior as close as possible to the original design and dimension of the clock according to pictures and known dimensions. One major difference from the original is the orientation of the opening due to the integration of the Clock Components Kit 01.

The internal component and the way they interact together is my original creation.

 

To assemble

After printing the parts:

  • Install the “Clock Components Kit 011” into its support and the battery
  • Install the dial for the hours first, then the one for the minutes.
  • Snap that assembly inside the box
  • Snap the clock face into the clock top frame
  • Close every thing by snapping the frame onto the box

To change the battery or adjust the hands: Remove the frame. Adjust the time by reaching to the clock wheel, or remove the clock support from the box

 

Dimensions in mm are 120x190x55

  • Plate 1 contains the clock dials and face plate.
  • Plate 2 contains the clock the frame
  • Plate 3 contains the back box and the clock mechanism support

Filaments I used for this print are:

04/01/2025 - Third print profile update.

  • Frame: 
    • Change the support from Tree to Normal. It make the support removable by hand, they have a larger print area and are better adapted too tight space, using a tool is still recommanded if they stuck to the parts.
    • Seams position is set to random for the frame, scarf joint is applied to entire wall perimeter and the speed for outer wall is reduce to 100mm/s from 200mm/s. The seam should be barely visible, using lighter color and matte filament help reduce visibility.
  • Face plate: New optional face plate with no text.

21/12/2024 - Second print profile update.

  • Frame: Brim activation with exterior and interior brim settings. To mitigate the risk of the outer wall to detach from the plate.

19/12/2024 - First print profile update.

  • Hours wheel: Reduced support under hours wheel. it is now easier to see and then too remove.
  • Frame: Change variable layer height setting from .5 quality to .25 quality. That change alone made redundant the support from the outer rim. Used tree support (manual). Defaut tree support are only active for inner rim, where I painted them.

    Take a look at the pictures in the print profile to see how remove them. You will need to slide the scrapper in between the part and the supports on both long side, and use it as a lever. It should peel in one piece.

Do you have a pictures to show me on what parts you had difficulties? Have you dowloaded the updated print profile? I did not encounter any problem during my tests, but some users had issue with hard to remove support and the lastest print profiles address that issue.

The outer part should be attached to the support (or brim) otherwise it detaches, moves and the print fails…I used the only loaded profile

I will make another round of test with your suggestions (adding exterior and interior brim) and update the print profile if satisfactory. Thanks for feedback.

I found this pretty much impossible to print. The design is such that the supports are so difficult to remove the design just doesn't work. I guess others were lucky or used specific supporting material.

Very sorry you had trouble with the print. What filament did you use? I only test with PLA. Yes it is harder than usual to remove the supports by hand. It is why, I had to slide the scrapper blade between the supports and the print at the window opening, once done it the come of easily. You can try reprinting at an angle (up to 45°), that will make the print longer but will spread the support and change their orientation and less fused together.

I'm test printing the face with tree supports set to "tree slim". if it is good, I will publish the new print profile in 1h30.

The new print profile is tested and online, if you want to try it. I hope it work for you too and you would reconsider your rating of the print profile

Thanks for the feedback and the boost. I will take a look at the supports and see if it can be print with less supports without compromising quality.

I don't think the amount was so bad... the difficult part was scraping the very fine (as in dense) support interface layer off of the most inner areas. The tree supports were fine. I think it would take a redesign of those inner parts... or make the support less dense? Just ideas... I still think the clock is awesome as is.

Looks fantastic. Was able to print without AMS by; 1. Isolating the white objects (delete black objects), 2. Slicing/pause prior to layer 2, 3. Print, 4. Cancel at pause, 5. Undo changes to model, 6. Isolating the black objects (delete white objects), 7. Slicing/remove pause prior to layer 2, 8. Print *The missing layer for the white didn't seem to affect the quality very much.

Fantastic Clock, Many thanks Any Idea why the minutes are being printed with some of the White filament not being printed correctly? Using A1 with white PLA. The rest of the print was perfect. Many thanks

I believe it the problem is with black filament, as it is printed first. You could try to isolate that part on its own plate and reprint check the first layer at the color change. I made some tests, you can see the result in the pictures, the pink one is the actual print profile, the orange has the wall type change to arachne, both print with the number on the plate. The dark blue one has wall on arachne and print with the number up, I also reset the top layer pattern setting, because concentric pattern does not look good with complex shape. In that setup the white is print last and cover the darker color. If all failed. You should check the flow rate calibration tab in bambu studio. It might be a hardware or filament problem than a software one. Hope it help. Glad to read the rest print well.

as shumsize already mentioned, removing the support structure is not easy but can be done with the right tools. The design is perfect thank you!
