The Grand 'Grandchildren's clock'

The Grand ‘Grandchildren’s’ clockDesign Concept: -Starting out with no idea of the design, this clock mechanism is built on purely trial and error and wild imagination. (I am no engineer – this is a piece of art more than a mechanical clock and work of design.) I decided to take part in the Timepiece contest and this being my first ever contest havingno idea what I was doing, or what to expect.In all of 5 minutes, I decided to build a clock from scratch with no remixes or borrowed ideas – using gears and a novel way to drive it. The clock would go by name “The Grand – Grandchildren Clock”. This set me off with a blank screen and basic shapes and parts which are available on Tinkercad. The result this unique self-designed model with zero AI content. Printed and deigned in evenings and over weekends (Thank you Tinkercad – and the Autodesk team 100% designed using opensource online cad program.)This model ideally needs the Creality K2 - bed size and multi-colour printing, painting, additionally consideration to working tolerances. (I only learnt about Support Painting in the Creality print at the end of the build.)Wanted it to be educational for my Grandchildren, turned out it was quite educational for Granpa!Ideally leter needs to include a toy or some interesting addition for them as motivation (Im thinking a Marble Rollercoaster and lift which is in design now.) This should help teach them how to read old analogue time displays and how gears work.The work on the Stepper drive, Marble Roller Coaster and Marble pump / lift will be added and also be free to down load.At the time of preparing this for submission – the actual Clock Meachanism is designed, printed and assembled including functional tests completed as successful.Please note the design needs lots of hardware. I used items I already had available in my 3D work area and garage.Clock ratios where to be 60:1and again 60:1. If the Stepper motor works the Clock must keep time and be potentially functional.
