Wall clock

A wall clock bigger than your printer

Design a wall clock up to 800 mm across in your browser. XVORK cuts it into pieces your printer can make, joins them with hidden keys, lays them out on build plates and gives you a file for every piece — with a sheet that says how it goes together.

Design one — it is free How to print it

How it works

Design it. Pick the size, the ring and its edge, the dial, the hands and the colours, and add your own words or logo. What you see is the clock that will be printed, drawn from the same geometry as the files.
Checked for printing. Hands that would scrape the dial, lines thinner than the nozzle, a movement that will not fit the hub — each is flagged as you go, and the common ones fixed in one click.
Cut to your bed. Choose your printer and the clock is split into ring and dial segments that fit it, joined by dovetails and keys you cannot see from the front, and packed onto build plates.
Download and print. An STL for every piece, a 3MF with each colour in its own filament slot, plate files, and an assembly sheet that names the movement to buy.

Sizes, and how many pieces

The five sizes the configurator offers as shortcuts, and what each comes to. The smallest prints its ring and its dial in one piece each on a 256 mm bed, with nothing to join. Any size up to 800 mm works, not only these; a smaller bed simply means more pieces.

Diameter	Ring	Dial	Keys	Printed parts, 256 mm bed	Printed parts, 180 mm bed
246 mm (9.7 in)	1	1	0	5	23
300 mm (11.8 in)	4	4	8	19	27
500 mm (19.7 in)	7	7	14	31	63
650 mm (25.6 in)	9	18	27	57	75
800 mm (31.5 in)	11	22	33	69	123

Ring, dial and keys on a 256 × 256 mm bed — the Bambu Lab A1, P1 and X1 — with the default design. The printed parts include the three hands of the standard movement it starts on, which turns a minute hand up to 300mm — from there, as on the 800 mm clock, a high-torque one is the better choice, and it turns two. There is no centre hub: the dial comes in to a hole for the movement, and a hub can be switched on in Parts. 180 × 180 mm is the A1 mini.

What you can change

The ring20 edge profiles and one you draw yourself, and 13 surface textures.

A reliefRaised patterns on the ring or the dial — 48 to start from, or your own picture.

The dialPatterns made from 12 families of mathematics, each with a seed and two sliders.

The hands16 hand styles, each hand in its own colour, holed for the movement they go on.

The numbers8 index styles, from Arabic and Roman to ticks and batons.

Your wordsUp to 3 lines of your own text inlaid flush in the dial or raised on it, in 9 faces.

Your logoAny one-colour SVG, inlaid flush in the dial or raised on it, in its own filament.

The colours28 PLA shades, a slot for each part, and palettes that count the spools a design needs.

What you get

An STL for every piece, laid the way it prints; each ring and dial segment carries its name on its back, so they go together in order.
A 3MF of the whole clock with every part and every mark in its own filament slot, for Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer.
Plate files, if you want them, that say which pieces go on one bed together.
An assembly sheet: the order it goes together, the shaft length of the movement to buy, and how to hang it.
A fit test kit and a sample of a few real pieces, to check the joints on your printer before the whole clock.

What it costs

Designing is free — any size, as many designs as you like, and no account. The print files come with the Maker plan, at $12 a month.

Subscribing is not live yet, so nothing can be paid for today and downloading is open in the meantime.
