Custom wall clock

BetaBeta version. Check the file in your slicer before printing. Found a problem? Contact us.

Create a clock face with raised numbers and a 57 × 57 mm back pocket. Also check the shaft and depth of your quartz movement (sold separately) before printing.

2Check your clock movement's measurements against the on-screen note.
3Download the STL, print it, fit the movement in the back and attach the hands.

The separate-parts STL places the dial, numbers and hands side by side (0 mm wide): without an AMS, print each part in its own color and assemble. The numbers come out as individual pieces to glue on; the single STL with a filament change at a pause is almost always easier. Side-by-side parts may exceed your bed size: if it doesn't fit, use "split to objects" in your slicer and spread them across plates. The .obj already carries the preview colors: Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer ask which filament to use for each color (AMS-ready).

Check your clock movement before printing

Sizes vary from supplier to supplier. The mount follows the most common standard:

~56 × 56 mm movement box: the back cavity is 57 × 57 mm and 5.6 mm deep.
~8 mm shaft: the center hole is 8.4 mm.
The threaded shaft passes through the 2.4 mm front and still needs room for the washer and nut. Buy a movement with at least about 5 mm of thread.
Hands: the hole is an estimate (hour Ø 5.2 mm; flattened minute 3.2 × 2.4 mm). Each movement is different: the safest bet is to use the hands that come with it.

Printing tips

Print with the numbers facing up (the cavity faces the bed). The cavity ceiling is a 57 mm bridge: most printers handle it without supports; if yours sags, add supports only there.
Two colors with a single nozzle: pause at 8 mm and swap the filament.
To hang it: the keyhole is on the back, at the top (9 mm hole for the nail or screw head). The movement box is usually about 16 mm deep and sticks out ~10.4 mm from the back, so leave the nail sticking out about 13.4 mm from the wall. Many movements come with their own little hook, which also works.
Hands: print them lying flat, thin and light. Large, heavy hands can stop the movement.
