Modern Spiral Clock - MCS

A modern clock design I created using my MCS system. It features a circular base with a clean, minimalistic look and numbers that rise out of the petals, which radiate from the center to form a dynamic spiral. The spiral flows in a clockwise direction, mimicking the progression of time. Thanks to the unique angles, the clock will always look different depending on your viewing perspective.
 

The pieces will fit together using friction so you can reuse the wallmount, frame and even the color background. Let's see how to put it together!


 

These are the pieces, simply place them in the correct order.
 

The MCS frame shown here is a prototype that doesn't have top layer, yours will look different but function the same. I printed others in different colors, this is the one I have in black so dont let that confuse you :)

 

Next up, insert the basicBase

Insert the wall frame on the mechanism and slot it in the back. Slide the desk attachment if you want to have it on your desk.

Insert the fins into the frame, the natural springy action will hold it to the frame. If not, a dab of superglue will do! Also, there is a layer color change at the very top for the letters, so have that in mind when you print this piece.

Add the hour and minute hands, and you are done! If by any reason they dont fit (elephant foot, tolerances, etc) simply reduce the size of the hands in small increments. I printed this on the A1 and it fits.

Finally, If you look closely, the images show a defect on the edges of the fins, that's because the layer seams are there. No way around that, however from a distance of 40 centimeters, I cant see them at all. I used silk filament, which is the worst case scenario and very poor decision making on my end, you can especially see it on the reflections. I strongly recommend using normal or matte PLA, that way the result will be much cleaner. Also, lower speed and smaller layer could work 
 

I designed it so that you pick up the surface of the build plate, so choose wisely. You do not need AMS for this. Part of my MCS system, every time you want to change things up, all you need to do is print the front panel and swap them out. Designed for the Bambu Lab Kit 011.
