Picture is nice, more details are better!
Growing up, my family had a Welby mantel clock, and I wanted to create a replica of it. I had mostly completed the design when I discovered that someone had actually already made one. So I started over with an original design inspired by the Welby but also incorporating elements of Weimar clocks. The design is parametric, so I can easily alter the shape if I want.
Printed on a Bambu P1S, 0.2mm layer height. Designed to not need any supports. Printed with what I had on hand - the outer shell is Hatchbox wood PLA, the face is Sunlu black PLA+, and the “brass” inlay, hands, and feet are eSun gold silk PLA.
I threw in a cheap clock movement from the craft store, and voila!
Nice! Thanks for the details!
