Description

I have  a lot of information to share with you regarding this clock and assembly instructions, so lets get to it. 

Note: My personal opinion is that the motor I have used is too noisy for leaving the clock motion on constantly.  So I am currently investigating alternative motor options.  That said, using the Bambu maker supply motor is much simpler and I wanted to make this model in a way that anyone could put it together. 
When I find the perfect alternative motor, I will be sure to post this information and let people decide if its worth it for them. Alternative motors will likely cost more and require soldering.

UPDATE (Oct 1, 2025): If you are using the official Bambu clock model part, some people have said that the model parts in this profile are not fitting properly, user StationaryDrifte has created a better fitting set of hands.  Please try theirs if you are using the Bambu clock.

---------------

Two print profiles are uploaded.  You will need to download both of them to complete the model.  They are divided into two because there are over a dozen eye options and I did not want to overwhelm or confuse anyone by having all the customization options and the required parts all on the same print profile. 

Some eyes can be printed with AMS, and some without. Please review the PDF for a breakdown and description.

First, here is a video showing the clock in action and how it works as well as some information about customization. 
 

 

Next I have a video that shows a detailed assembly tutorial. 
 

 

 

Next I have a list of supplies and things you will need.  I highly encourage you to download the PDF I have uploaded as it has this list and additional information as well as step by step instructions with pictures for every step.   The PDF also provides a list of all the parts you need to print in an organized way.  Please please please review it. 
There is too much information to display in the description. 
 

Most parts can be purchased from Bambu, however, the washers and o-rings are not available on their website and you will need to get them elsewhere. 

I did purchase some additional 1:220 single shaft motors from two other sellers, and I can say that the Bambu ones are of a significantly higher quality. Not only does the Bambu ones come with a per-attached USB, making it easier to use, but the noise is significantly lower on the Bambu brand motors.   So for those of you thinking, like I did, you could find a better deal elsewhere, .. yes, you can. but there will be a quality drop.


 

 

Lastly, regarding copyright.
