Very nicely done, congratulations !

Great design, I have a few of those steppers and was wondering what to do with one!
Do you have ideas for those of us without a dual extrusion function?
Can you make a version of those parts where the numbers are recessed into the plastic (could then be colored with a sharpie)?

@gzumwalt_494620 I ended up just playing around with the stl in PrusaSlicer and printed solid with a slight recess for the numbers, and the inked them. Worked out fine I think.
I couldn't get the 3mf file for the case to slice properly in PrusaSlicer, btw.
Clock works nice and is certainly one of the stranger timepieces I've got!
@Mat_119561 I printed it also without tool changer (Ender) and just manually changed 8 times.
Orcaslicer, 0,32 layers (0.24 first, 0.16 for upper thread with variable layers), reduce black 'minutes' to the same height as 'hours', and paint upper rings of the 'hours' black (beginning with the threaded pillar)
I got great results, just waiting for the motor/driver to arrive.
I'll share my make if it's finished (even modified and shrunken down the electronics to a minimum).
Would have liked a little more space between motor and ramp for wiring, but otherwise a fun little toy. (Video attached.) We're designing our own marble elevator next. Thank you for the great design! I'm curious which tool in F360 you went with for the ramp. (edited)
@Epiales Looks great, and thank you! I used the sweep tool to generate the path using two sketches; one for the path and a second for the track profile.

@gzumwalt_494620 Ahh. That makes sense. Thank you. (edited)
I had a couple of small DC motors left over from another project so decided to try this. The only difference was a voltage controller bought from Temu to regulate the speed.
@3dgranddad_245709 Looks great, congratulations !
Greg
@gzumwalt_494620 You did all the hard work:-)
Great model. It fits spot on and looks good. Those buttons works also good. Thank you very much (:
@owar Wow owar, great work, congratulations, and thank you for building this model!
Greg
Perfect to protect my board without looking horrible (well, the choice of filament was a mistake.. mea culpa).
Buttons came out a bit badly on my printer, If I could change anything I'd make them bigger, but they work well after a bit of cleanup. ;-)
The battery holder (a flexbattr design) is simply glued in place; has a 18650 battery and a switch.
PS; Actually printed on a Renkforce RF100, but that's not in the 'my printer' list so doesnt exist.. apparently
Fun little model. Like I said on youtube, I am looking for a source for a quieter version of these little motors. I have a few different ones I got from AliExpress, but they're all pretty noisy. If you find one please let me know! (edited)
Hello! Can you post the model in step format or, even better, in fusion360 format? VERY NECESSARY!!!
@Samarthpatil_1922137
Looks great, congratulations!
Greg
great christmas gift, thanks for it
@MichalPlachy_1547608 Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I added a geared motor I got out of an old rc car and made a box with a flower and gave to my wife as an anniversary present.
@DaveOfTheDead That is so beautiful, congratulations and a very happy anniversary from us to you!
Greg
I ended up remixing the base to make it a little bit thicker, and I added some fillets, because it would break when printed in either orientation. It is probably because I wanted to use silk PLA. It is a great model, thank you!
@dmclean That looks wonderful, congratulations !
Greg
I used the model to learn print in place in Fusion (the gimble) and then went on to remake most of it to convert the model into a display for real-time wind direction data. The original model was a great inspiration.
