Description

*[English] A short video to explain the design process:* https://youtu.be/UDRHcyCzoGo *[Francais] Une petite video pour tout expliquer:* https://youtu.be/1BMoDVU0LKM 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 ! This is a timelapse of the Lazy Susan Clock: https://youtu.be/OcOzPO-VBRc *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:
  • 2x clock movements (with a couple of hands) : https://www.amazon.com/Satisfounder-Non-Ticking-Mechanism-Replacement-Different/dp/B07T3CFT35/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=non+ticking&qid=1593524903&refinements=p_72:1248909011,p_85:2470955011&refresh=1&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=hardware&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=mojoptix-20&linkId=00fa816189f6cbf7bc293321af6b9503&language=en_US
  • 2x ball bearing 688-2RS : https://www.amazon.com/Satisfounder-Non-Ticking-Mechanism-Replacement-Different/dp/B07T3CFT35/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=non+ticking&qid=1593524903&refinements=p_72:1248909011,p_85:2470955011&refresh=1&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=hardware&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=mojoptix-20&linkId=00fa816189f6cbf7bc293321af6b9503&language=en_US
  • 16x M4 screws, 20 mm long, with conical/countersunk heads
  • 16x M4 nuts
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.
