Instructions :

This is a large print : 235 x 235
Make sure you wash your build plate with soap water and use glue stick/ liquid glue before printing. The adhesion will need to be on point.
If you have and X1C, the print will overlap with your calibration lines. Either manually remove the lines just before the print (pause if you have to) or let tit print over and scrap it off later. It will not affect performance and will not be seen.

This will be a 4 color print.

Black → Orange → Yellow → White

You can choose the Orange, Yellow and White to be either Glow in the dark, Fluorescent(UV/ Neon) or normal

Swap Instructions:
Start with Black
At layer #8 (1.08mm) swap to Orange Fluorescent
At layer #18 (2.28mm) swap to Yellow Fluorescent
At layer #20 (2.52mm) swap to White for the rest

I have no feedback to improve on this model or print profiles - they're perfect. I do agree with the author that you really want to make sure your build plate is as clean as possible for this print. Lightly scrubbing with Dawn or a similar detergent is a must.

Thank you for printing and posting a review! Your clock came out great! Cheers!

FYI Gluestick purpose is NOT to make thing adhere to the build plate plate better. Its use is to make releasing from build plate easier. So depending on your build plate type and filament you may not need to use gluestick at all.

I used the PLA glow from the Halloween filament bundle as the top layer and it seems like it was too thin to glow well. I’m sure it would be great with plain white.
