RIPPLE | Wall Clock

I live on the coast of Normandy, France, And I just love the effect of these sand ripples that I see walking on the beach everyday. So I decided to design a clock mimicking that ripple effect.

It works with the Bambu Lab clock component kit. You can get the kit here: For Europe: https://eu.store.bambulab.com/fr-fr/products/clock-components-kit-011?srsltid=AfmBOorrbUASumrEKti8oM6RF0oeaRubrHdPqrEL0nJlS-HAr-_ctC0l

You can fix the base to the wall with a screw. Or if you want a rental friendly solution, you can use 2 Large velcro adhesive strips.

Happy printing!

DIMENSIONS (Medium) | Ø 240 mm Print two half-clocks L240mm, thickness 15mm.

3D PRINT SETTINGS: All STL files are already oriented properly. You need to print 3 parts:

• 2 half-clock plates in the colour of your choice
• a base plate to fix on the wall and fix the two clock plates together.
• 2 dovetail locks, to secure the base to the clock plates

CLOCK PLATES: Go with normal print settings.

• set perimeter walls to 2
• set infill to about 15% That's it.

FUZZY SKIN: You can add a bit of fuzzy skin, to make the clock plates look a bit sandy.

• fuzzy skin point distance: 0.3mm
• fuzzy skin thickness: 0.1mm Don't go higher than 0.1mm for the fuzzy skin thickness, otherwise it will affect the tolerance between the base plate and the dovetails on the back of the clock plates.

BASE: No particular tricks for these two parts. I used 0.2mm per layer and 20% infill. No fuzzy skin.

CLOCK HANDS: Print with 0.2mm per layer. The fit should be just right, but it can vary depending of the brand of PLA you use. If it's too tight or too loose, try scaling the clock-hands up or down by 0.02% (so scale up with 1.02%, or scale down with 0.98%).

Happy printing!
