3D model description

Wall Clock "Chain Link": A small craft project

First of all you'll need a High Torque Movement Mechanism Clockwork if you want to craft this wall clock.
I bought this one from amazon: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B076ZRH5KL

Description of the files:

  1. "Chain Clock Chassis": This is the chassis for the clockwork.
    The high torque clockwork with 30.5 x 13 x 2 centimetres dimensions will fit inside.
    I have printed mine in red with resolution 0.28 and infill 15%. Use support for this part.

  2. "Chain Clock Chassis Cover Plate": Just a cover plate for the chassis
    to have a color contrast to the chassis and to the numbers.
    I have printed mine in black with resolution 0.28. No infill, no support.

  3. "Pinion 12 Teeth": This is the chain drive.
    Connect the pinion as minute hand to the clock work.
    I have printed mine in silver with resoluton 0.2 and infill 15%. No support.

  4. The chain links are made up of 3 files
    "Chain Pin Link", "Chain Link Cover" and "Chain Inner Link"
    You will need 72(!) of each.

    I provide 2 comfort print sheets for this, so you can print 12 or 24 links at once.
    Think about whether you want the chain to be multicolored.

    I have experimented a lot with printable chain links.
    There are many chain projects on thingiverse.
    But none had the smoothness that I wanted.
    So I created this one. It runs smooth, but you have to seal the links with an iron.

    Printer settings for the chain links parts: resolution 0.2 with infill 80%. No support.

  5. The Number Files:
    There's an STL for every number of the clock.
    I also provide a comfort print sheet with all numbers.

    Just click them on the finished chain.

    I have printed mine in orange with resolution 0.28. Infill doesn't matter. No support.
