I had a clock up on the wall… it was high and required a ladder to set the time, so I bought an atomic radio clock.  Seemed perfect, only had to change the batteries, and always told the time perfect.

Then the wife came along and said it was ugly.  Bought a new clock, but it was not atomic, and the time was wrong all the time.

So, I tore apart the atomic clock and put the movement in the new clock.  However, the hands didn't fit the style, so I 3D printed some new hands.  They're much bigger/longer than the old hands, and the movement isn't strong enough, so I had to move a big counter weight circle on each of them.  I think it still came out just fine, and it has been working for a week now.  Printed in PLA.

Some of the pictures are from the original design that were too far offset for the poor little movement to move them.  The final one on the wall is those I made.
