Radar desk clock

I’ve always loved the look of old-school sonar and radar screens—there’s something really satisfying about that sweeping visual. I spent a few nights in CAD trying to translate that into a functional desk clock that actually looks good next to a keyboard or on a shelf.

It’s a pretty straightforward build, but I put a lot of time into making sure the "radar" face looks right and that the parts actually fit together without a struggle.

A quick favor...

I’m really close to hitting the 100-print milestone for my account (I'm at 85 right now!), which helps me get into the MakerWorld Exclusive program. If you’re planning to make this, I’d really appreciate it if you used the green "Print" button in the app or Studio. It helps me way more than a standard download, and it ensures you’re using the settings I tested on my own machine.

I’d love to see yours!

If you end up printing this, please post a photo in the "Makes" section. I’m really curious to see what colors everyone uses—I went with a dark grey and green "vintage" look, but I bet a white-on-white version would look killer for a minimalist setup.

If you run into any issues with the tolerances or the print profile, just shoot me a comment. I’m happy to tweak the files to make sure everyone gets a clean result.

Happy printing!
