Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!
ToM modifications for the MakerBot Clock
Description
These files are a breakdown of the larger parts from the MakerBot Clock, Thing 8214 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18214)
The large parts of the clock have been broken down into sizes appropriate for printing on a ToM. The smaller parts required to complete the clock will need to be sourced from the original clock page. Please note that I have not finished printing these parts so modifications may be necessary to make them work with the original clock parts. I have run these parts through NetFabb but there may still be a few issues. Let me know if you find anything that does not work.
Note: A hardware kit will be required to build the clock. The hardware kit is/was available from MakerBot as a limited edition. While the $50.00 might seem a bit steep for the parts, the kit includes several small bearings which add significantly to the price.

Instructions
The listed parts are broken down from the main Sketchup drawing for Thing:18214 to make them printable on a ToM. Once the parts are printed they will have to be glued together to create the larger assemblies needed to build the clock. The remainder of the parts necessary to complete the clock will have to be sourced from the original Thing page: thingiverse.com/thing:18214
I found a minor problem while I was printing
Front Frame 12-2 12-1.STL file has been fixed.

This is really useful, but I ended up modifying some of the front frame pieces to keep the original idea of using the face pieces to snap the face together and hold in place (avoiding the need to rely too much on glue). Some of them had been cut half way through a 'I' character, which meant the face pieces wouldn't hold them together.
