Tadam! This is the Lazy Susan Clock.
Just slide a pair of these motorized lazy susans under a couple of small-ish objects on your desk. You'll then be able to tell the time by just looking at the orientation of whatever you put on top of them !

*Note: you can also buy a set of these directly from me! Just go to my Etsy shop:* https://mojoptix.etsy.com
List of Ingredients
To build a full set (hours and minutes), you will need:
You'll need to 3D print every STL components twice, except those with a filename ending with "_Hours" or "_Minutes". It should about 24 hours and 200 grams of plastic to 3D print everything.
Glue the Coupler_clock_xx to the hand
To attach the "Coupler_clock_Minutes" to the clock, you can simply re-use the original Minutes hand for the clock:
- cut the branch of the hand to keep only the central part.
- glue it under the 3D printed part. Make sure that the hole for the clock axis is perfectly centered with the hole in the 3D printed part.
Then simply repeat the procedure with the "Coupler_clock_Minutes" part and a Hours hand.
Assembly
The rest of the assembly is really straightforward.
I would maybe just have one recommendation: move the clock movement in place *before* assembling the "Top_Minutes" (or "Top_Hours"). This will allow you to visually check that the "Coupler_top" and "Coupler_clock_Minutes" (or "Coupler_clock_Hours") components are interlocking as they should.
