    Loving the engineering gone into this clock.

    Fran, great video. Do you have any recommendations for entirely 3d printed fastening systems? I'm working on a project similar to yours with a pieces of an outer shell that need to fasten together. For the challenge of it, I'm designing it to be entirely 3d printed.

    Why using autocad for a simple thing like this?
    The best tool for this is OpenScad.
    Just set the right values in:
    difference() {
    cube([20,20,5],center=true);
    translate([0,0,-3]) cylinder(r=7.5, h=10 ,$fn=6);
    }
    And render it. A cylinder that is rendered with 6 faces make a perfect nut 🙂

    This channel should be shown in every middle-school classroom in the country. Not only to provide a fantastic inspiration for girls interested in tech, but also to show all nerds how to not be so self-aggrandizing and to just be a maker for the sheer pleasure of it.

    Love it!

    Fran. How about creating these nut-enclosures from wood ? Does your CNC machine have that resolution?

    It honors the old traditions… You're right Fran.
