this is my completed project of a fully mechanical, 3D printed clock.

I decided to do an EPQ project, and my aim/title of my project was to make a mechanical clock, which in the course of about 5 months, I went from an idea, to planning and researching, and then designing and printing, as well as prototyping a clock out.

its definitely not the best, I unfortunately didn't do my gear ratios correctly when designing so some gears are out of time, and it only runs for about 5 mins before stopping because of friction (for me), but its a cool concept to show what can be built using a 3D printer, and to show different design techniques, as well as to incorporate unique ways that 3D prints can be used.

please have fun printing this out and assembling it, and also feel free to make any modifications to this, this is still a work in progress, and I would like to see what other people do to this.

Fully 3D Printed Mechanical Clock

V2 IS HERE!

after countless months, I've finally gotten enough courage to upload my updated design for the balisong butterfly trainer knife.

I've done multipule things to the design, here's a list of what I've done:

- given it a latch so that you can lock the balisong open or closed, with multiple sizes available.
- slightly adjusted the blade so that it looks more natural and overall better.
- gotten rid of the pin, and replaced it with a nib on the blade itself, so that there is less parts to print, as well as looking more sleek.
- I've oversized the pins so that the pins don't break under high falls and sudden impacts.
- adjusted all the designs so that it should have less tolerance and therefore less slop in general use, while also making it easier to print and assemble.
- weight balance is better so it should be easier to flip and do tricks(for me at least)
- made a hair comb blade, cause you gotta look cool while flipping.
- honestly, just have fun flipping because I've run out of other ideas (plz comment!)



V2 trainer buttefly knife

hair_comb_blade.stl

just a simple, but functional door hook that can be used on any door or ledge to hang your coats, clothes or bags.

printed in 2 parts and requires no supports or rafts, and only a tiny bit of bridging, but still super easy to print and put together.

I remixed a fully printable butterfly/balisong trainer knife so that it can be printed with no issue in terms of scaling and should be as easy as print out and ready to use.

I adjusted the clips a lot so that they can be printed without any brim or raft (though you can if you want), and so that its an easy installation while not falling out of the holes.

there's a small chamfer on the pin so that elephants foot at the first few layers doesn't affect the dimensions of the pin and also so that its a easier installation.

I adjusted the blade a lot so that the actual blade part has a curve to it and looks more aesthetically pleasing, while also making it more safe for anyone to use with a rounded point so that it will have a hard time of people to injure anyone, where as the original design was still sharp, and also some chamfers and fillets were put on the model to make it print out better and to also to make it look better.

the handles are rounded off slightly so that it feels a lot better in the hands and also get rid of elephants foot, I've also reduced the tolerances so that there is as little wobble of the blade as possible and also feels better to flip with, while also making it a slight bit heavier.

the 2 handles, 4 clips and pin should be printed out at 100% infill so that the weight is as similar to a actual balisong and also so that it flips better and is stronger, and the blade should be printed out at around 70-80% infill for a good balanced balisong, the handle also needs support but should be super easy to remove with the metal spatula that comes with the printer.

butterfly knife balisong trainer remix

blade_2 new .stl

This is just a remix of a Oni Genji Dragonblade from overwatch.

The only things that I've changed are that all part files are in one print so you don't have to print all of them individually, and also I've made it so that it is measured to the actual game size of 105cm or 41 inches, except from the original 3D model size of 161 cm or 63 inches long.

Link to battery holder V2 with a more secure design and less "moment" weight so it feels lighter than V1: https://thangs.com/mythangs/file/488533

this is a remix and my first design so that you can have a power bank plugged into the oculus while playing, since my power bank has a built-in USB-C cable

The dimensions of the hole for the power bank are 140x21mm big with a little wiggle room for ease of use, if the 140mm direction needs to be bigger or smaller you can go into cura and make a support blocker over the hole, highlight the support blocker and go to "per model settings" and in the modify settings go to infill settings only and adjust the "horizontal expansion" setting.

there are clips on the 3d design to clip onto the vent gap, but if your clips don't print well like mine, use some double sided tape, rubber bands or string to keep it in place, where string would be the best choice for a permeant solution, and the tape and rubber bands for a temporary solution.

if you want the same power bank i have you can buy it from this amazon link:

oculus quest 2 front battery holder

this is a v2 for the battery holder for the oculus quest, the v1 had the holder at the front which made the quest very heavy with a lot of "moment" weight, this new design is nearer to the centre of the headset so there is less moment weight, which will have less strain on your neck and have a better experience.

if you need more information, go to the v1 page to get more details about the battery holder, and also if the clips on the outer edge of the holder don't work, you'll have to try to find a way to mount it with some rubber bands, string, or double sided tape but I did have to use super glue to keep the string in place so it wouldn't cover the cameras, there might be other solutions but this is what I thought of.

EDIT: v2.1, redesigned with hooks on the front of the holder so that if string or bands are used, then it wont block the cameras and make it a lot easier for putting the holder on and off from the headset, also have made holes on the front of the holder and at the battery compartment so not as much filament is used while printing while keeping it strong, and to also make it so that the vents have airflow to come out off without being blocked from the holder, also a small notch has been cut out from the holder so its easier to hold and not as much trouble carrying it around, and lastly made it so that the battery holder itself is more flush with the top of the headset than the before model.

Oculus Quest V2 battery holder

OC2 battery holder V2.1.stl

I printed a one leisure tag holder so I could attach it to the back of my phone with some double sided tape, I also added my email address which is embedded into the tag holder, either you can do it on tinkercad or I can personally do it on fusion.

 One Leisure tag holder

I've designed a rebreakable karate board to test your strength.

I've made 3 difficulties, an easy, medium and a hard board, from 10mm to 15mm thickness, the 10mm one is very easy and is mainly designed for children, the 12mm and the 15mm ones are quite more difficult and require a lot more effort than the easy board, please note that the strength needed to break these boards are not the same as proper karate boards on the market.

The test prints sounds like what its supposed to do, to test if it fits/works or not, these are printed with quite a bit of tolerance, the same as the boards itself ,so if your prints don't function as intended, then there is something wrong with your printer, you can also use the test prints as fidget toys and can be very satisfying to snap.

Please print the boards the intended orientation since this is the strongest orientation and also so that the boards fit together properly, and also enable brim since you would need a lot of layer adhesion for the board to print out well, even with a good print bed.

Please note that the 12mm board hasn't been tested yet and may have some clearance/durability issues putting it together, and also some boards may require some persuasion for them to slide on, but after a few uses should be a lot easier to put on, and please also note that these boards aren't perfectly designed and may have some other issues since this uses up so much filament just to test out

I also take no responsibility in any harm that is caused by this product and should be used with care.
