My parents clock died and Im always looking for it when I visit. Decided to make one for them since it’ll be years before they decide to buy another.
Inkscape to estlcam, just pockets and islands- 0.2 mm tool diameter and 50 mm/s xy movement though theres tons of accel/deccel so it didn’t get up to full speed much. 1 hr 10 mins for the laser work-7 watt j-tech laser.
This was try four lol. V1 V-carve wasn’t very crisp and I wanted the numbers bigger.
Second try I forgot to change the clearance plane from zero so my big drug when I cut it out.
V3 got snagged on the laser power block on the second to last path and skipped some steps.
It’s still not perfect (sightly out of round, need to check my starting blocks-some laser paths slightly misaligned) but I’m happy with it; should look good from the distance it will be viewed at.
I did not make the hands, they came with the clock kit.
