Fibonacci Spiral Clock 30×30 #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Fibonacci Spiral Clock 30x30 by alfredo pironti Thingiverse

This clock would make for a great conversation piece in your home. From alfredo_pironti on Thingiverse:

This is a 146% scaled up version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3955834, ideal to be printed on 30×30 bed printers (e.g. CR 10-S), using all available space.

When scaling, several details have been accounted for: the thickness of the dial, hour and minutes is enough to keep them rigid despite the increased size; holes are still ready to be mounted on standard quartz clockworks (in fact, minutes is given a non-round shape that should minimize slippage).

STLs are provided facing down (the clock visible face is printed against the bed): in my setup I print on a glass bed which gives a nice glossy finish. The models can be flipped is this is not desirable.

I printed the dial in white, and minutes and hours in black. I also glued a thin black cardboard behind the dial, to give the numbers adequate contrast.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!


Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!
