💬 F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)

❓ How do the main elements hold together? 👉 It's your choice! You can either use 8x3mm magnets or the joining pegs provided in the project to secure the assembly. 🧲📌 💡 My maker tip: Use magnets at least between the front bezel and the rear casing. This will allow you to easily remove the front to set the time or change the battery, without touching the dial!

❓ What is this part behind the dial in the print file? 👉 It is a temporary dial support designed to stabilize the part during printing. 🛠️

• If you leave it enabled: Once the print is finished, you just need to cut it cleanly. ✂️
• If you prefer: You can absolutely disable this support function directly in your slicer (Bambu Studio) according to your printing habits! 💻⚙️

❓ What are the dimensions of the clock? 👉 Once assembled with its complete strap, the clock is a magnificent decorative piece! It measures approximately 28 cm in height x 23 cm in width x 4 cm in depth. 📐✨

❓ How do you attach the time markers (indices)? 👉 The minute and hour markers must be glued into their respective slots. 🛠️💧 Why this choice? It's a meticulous task, but it's the ideal solution to achieve the cleanest possible result while avoiding massive filament waste related to color changes (AMS)! 🌍💚
