Gear O’Clock by PrintTo3D
Everybody knows clock projects are pretty sweet — I mean, why would you have a boring clock with hands when you could instead have an amazing gear piece like this! Not only is it mostly 3d-printed, but it also has working gears!
It is a simple but very cool project — just print the parts, assemble, and snap it on to your salvaged/purpose bought wall clock. Well done, PrintTo3d! I foresee telling time with one of these very soon.

It's a 3D printed clock! WOOT!
It consists of 12 number plates, 2 gears, and 1 mount.
All units are inches.
In the zip folder are two versions of the main drive gear and clock base (10" gear). The gear I sectioned into four pieces (print two of each) and a version of the drive gear that does not need supports.
This should main clock base should fit on most hobby printers. I made everything so that it requires no support and fits within a 4x4" box.

Will the clock mechanism turn counter clockwise if you put the battery in backwards? Just thinking about the numbers the other way.

@Roy, I don’t think reversing the battery will reverse the clock because the clock ‘motor’ is designed to rotate to only one side only (it is very simple electromagnetic rotation device). But you can reverse that piece and the clock will run backwards because all the other pieces are just gears.
