Growing up, my family had a Welby mantel clock, and I wanted to create a replica of it. I had mostly completed the design when I discovered that someone had actually already made one. So I started over with an original design inspired by the Welby but also incorporating elements of Weimar clocks. The design is parametric, so I can easily alter the shape if I want.
Printed on a Bambu P1S, 0.2mm layer height. Designed to not need any supports. Printed with what I had on hand - the outer shell is Hatchbox wood PLA, the face is Sunlu black PLA+, and the “brass” inlay, hands, and feet are eSun gold silk PLA.
I threw in a cheap clock movement from the craft store, and voila!

Cool, did you design it?

Yep. I’ll be uploading it to a few sites tonight or tomorrow. Just need to make a few minor adjustments.

Excellent, I'd love to try printing this as well! Very nice version of the original!

I like it but the time is wrong

No sorry, I checked the time. And just to be safe I checked it twelve hours later and it was right both times.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Looks sick!

I just edited the post with download links. It needs a 250x250 build plate. I’m working on a smaller version, but it’s gonna take some time.
