The current concerns about nuclear risk, climate change, biological threats, disinformation and disruptive technologies induced a forward move on the Doomsday Clock’s hands. We are closer to a global catastrophe than ever before. It is necessary that we act and work on solutions that turn back the clock.

I used images from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists website to create a model for 3D-printing. It is meant to promote the #TurnBackTheClock challenge or rather serve as a reminder for people to work together on making the world a safer place. I will print several of these and place them with magnetic or double-faced adhesive tape around my university/workplace, in classrooms, on fridges and so forth.

Don't print anything that can harm yourself or any other being in any way. Ask yourself if you really need to print "that" or if you will throw it away soon. Use your 3D printer for the good.

Info about printing

You can download a 3-colored or 2-colored version. The gcode and 3mf files already contain color change commands for a manual filament change. The card is 60 x 80 mm tall, but you can scale it to your liking. I uploaded step files and my svg file too.

Information about the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and the Doomsday Clock

"Founded in 1945 by Albert Einstein and University of Chicago scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists created the Doomsday Clock two years later, using the imagery of apocalypse (midnight) and the contemporary idiom of nuclear explosion (countdown to zero) to convey threats to humanity and the planet. The Doomsday Clock is set every year by the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board in consultation with its Board of Sponsors, which includes 10 Nobel laureates. The Clock has become a universally recognized indicator of the world’s vulnerability to global catastrophe caused by manmade technologies." - thebulletin.org, January 24, 2023
