Time Bicycle - Recycled CD/DVD 3D Printed Clock

This is a desktop clock piece that combines eco-friendly creativity with 3D printing technology, using a discarded CD/DVD as the main clock face, paired with a 3D printed bicycle-shaped stand, allowing time to flow gently with the turning of the wheels.

Design Concept:

1. Core Idea: Using a bicycle as the design vehicle, with a discarded CD/DVD as the clock face, to create a visual metaphor for 'the passage of time' and 'the movement of wheels', while also practicing the eco-friendly concept of recycling and reusing old items.

2. Structural Features: The frame uses an integrated 3D printed design, requiring no additional splicing, with sufficient strength to support the clock face and movement. The bottom wheel shape both echoes the theme and serves as support feet, enhancing the stability of the ornament. The CD/DVD slot reserves precise tolerance, allowing a standard 12cm CD/DVD to be directly inserted without the need for extra glue for fixation.

Manufacturing Process

1. Clock Face and Movement
   • Clock Face: Standard DVD/CD, choose favorite printed patterns (e.g., team logo, illustration, solid color)
   • Movement: Silent quartz clock movement (shaft length needs to match CD/DVD thickness, shaft length and style based on personal preference)
   • Installation: The movement passes directly through the central hole of the CD/DVD and is secured with a nut on the back of the stand
2. Post-processing
   • Sand the printed parts to remove layer lines, and apply spray paint (personal preference) to enhance texture
   • The edge of the CD/DVD can be lightly sanded to avoid scratching hands
   • Both the gear shaft and gear stopper are glued (install gears first)
