Makerbot Clock

Former Member

I have printed all of the parts that the clock requires and I was getting ready to buy the kit from Makerbot for the rest of the parts - the shafts, bearings, and side pieces.  I guess the store is no longer in operation?  Does anyone have a source for the side pieces - like a drawing with dimensions or a template or the .stl for a CNC router?  Also does anyone know a person / business that will cut out the panels for me because I don't have a CNC router.

  • Jody,

    there's a parts list and some pictures of the parts here. It would appear that wooden base is only a support so you don't need to worry too much about getting it super accurate hence you could make them using hand tools. The trick with the curved side pieces is to tape them together before sanding the curved edges. The they will look the same which is more important than looking exactly like the original. You could print some small L shaped brackets to screw or bolt the panels together. Perhaps something like this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34422

     

    Cheers,
