Introduction: Antique Clock

Design of an antique clock with Roman numerals using Autodesk Fusion 360 software, didactic model to be used in the 3D printer or made with other materials, is presented a step-by-step guide to the manufacture of the main body of the watch, as well as some details to give a better finish, It was designed in such a way that is simple and pleasing to the eye of people.

The design was done step by step in case it is necessary to make some modification, since it depends on each person the taste of the finishes of the watch.

General objective

Design of an antique clock with Roman numerals and use Fusion 360 that can serve as a learning and fun method, encourage design ideas and use different materials for its construction. It can be made with wood or directly by printing on a 3D printer.

To facilitate the use of Fusion 360 software, a glossary of hotkeys is shown below:

  9. Let's go to the rectangle of 27 millimeters, we must create internally two rectangles of 5x27 millimeters and later use the command 3-PointArc. Finally do the same at the other end, select our cuts that will do with the extrude and give a distance of -12 millimeters.

  10. Draw a line from the center of the axis of our component corresponding to the gear 3, with a distance of 45 millimeters, at the end of the line use center to create a circle of 160 millimeters and another circle of 95 millimeters, select the circle Generated and give a 3 mm extrude. Then in the center create a circle of 5 millimeters in diameter and by means of extrude ('e') extend 1 millimeter.

  1. Create a new component
    • (Image S10_01)
  2. Select the last circle generated, and on it create another circle of 82 millimeters in diameter and make the following divisions marked by the command line ('l'), then draw a circle with a diameter of 72 millimeters and by means of 3-PointArc we make the joints to create the displacement gear. It is extruded a distance of 4 millimeters.

  3. Taking the center of the gear, create a circle of 10 millimeters in diameter and with extrude give a distance of 8 millimeters, now must be made the hour indicator, in this case it is to each one's preference how to design. For this case a circle of 15 millimeters in diameter and a rectangle of 15x45 millimeters in diameter is used, finally details are made with 3-PointArc and other strokes as shown in the image.

Step 11: Let’s Work in Details

I create a support for the displacement rod, for this we create a rectangle of 10x4 millimeters and in the corner we put a circle of 4 millimeters in diameter, then use the extrude command on the circle and giving a distance of 6 millimeters. Then we create a square on the circle of 4 millimeters per side, again we use the extrude command giving a distance of 8 millimeters. I take a base of the generated rectangle and on it and mark a rectangle of 4x2 millimeters for which in the corner we mark a circle of 3 millimeters in diameter and make a cut of -4 millimeters with the command extrude.(Image S11_01_01, S11_01_02, S11_01_03, S11_01_04, S11_01_05, S11_01_06, S11_01_07, S11_01_08 and S11_01_09)

Select component 5 and make a cut of -3 millimeters with extrude.(Image S11_02_01 and S11_02_02)

Step 12: Displacement Rod

  1. New component.
    • (Image S12_01)
  2. I made a circle with 3 millimeters in diameter and using the extrude function, I gave a distance of 147 millimeters. Then draw a line to 58 millimeters and at the end of this draw a rectangle of 12x8 millimeters. After the rectangle I draw a line of 41 millimeters and a rectangle of 12x8 millimeters. Selected the 2 rectangles created and by the extrude command we give a distance of 1 millimeter.

Step 13: Rocker

  1. New component
  2. I draw a rectangle of 140x21 millimeters, in each corner made the following strokes: rectangle of 40x21 millimeters, rectangle of 10x21 millimeters, rectangle of 40x9 millimeters. Having these strokes used the command 3-Point Arc and later we draw a rectangle of 40x8 millimeters.
    • (Image S13_02_01, S13_02_02, S13_02_03, S13_02_04, S13_02_05, S13_02_06, S13_02_07, S13_02_08 and S13_02_09)
  3. I made square marks of 2 millimeters per side, this part is where weights are hung to balance the clock, again we use the 3-Point Arc command and we eliminate ('t') those lines that we do not need. Then use the extrude command on the generated figure with 6 millimeters of distance.
    • (Image S13_03_01, S13_03_02, S13_03_03, S13_03_04 and S13_03_05)
  4. Proceed to one of the faces of our generated piece, to create a hole where it will pass through our sliding rod. Create a rectangle of 3x25 millimeters, now in the corner of this created a circle of 3 millimeters in diameter. With the extrude command cut a distance of -10 millimeters.
    • (Image S13_04_01, S13_04_02 and S13_04_03)

Step 14: Weights.

  1. New component
    • (Image S14_01)
  2. Generate the weights to balance the watch. First create a square of 16 millimeters per side and with extrude we give a height of 12 millimeters.
    • (Image S14_02_01 and S14_02_02)
  3. Draw 2 rectangles in the top of 16x4 millimeters and in the part of the center we generate two circles with a diameter of 2.5 millimeters and we give them a height of 5 millimeters. Change the axis of work to make a circle of 1.5 millimeters in diameter, which will make a cut in the circle of 2.5 in diameter, this is to be able to insert a thread or another element to hang the weights.
    • (Image S14_03_01, S14_03_02, S14_03_03, S14_03_04, S14_03_05, S14_03_06, S14_03_07 and S14_03_08)
  4. Move the piece to its corresponding place and duplicate the piece
    • (Image S14_04_01, S14_04_02 and S14_04_03)

Step 15: Details

  1. Used extrude in the rod adding a distance of 10 millimeters.
    • (Image S15_01)
  2. Select the gear body 1 and extend the teeth of the smaller gear to make contact with the gear body 2. Giving a distance of 20 millimeters.
    • (Image S15_02_01 and S15_02_02)
  3. Let's try some details, which are displayed in the images. These are details like a spring and give a better finish to the screw holes.
    • (Image S15_03_01, S15_03_02, S15_03_03, S15_03_04, S15_03_05, S15_03_06, S15_03_07, S15_03_08, S15_03_09 and S15_03_10)

Step 16: The Roman Numerals

To dial the numbers, in our case are Roman numerals and is taken into account as were the clocks formerly. For the design I simply take into account 4 important numbers, each 90 degrees corresponding to the numbers 3, 6, 9 and 12. Following the steps of the images can see the realization of each of the numbers, you can change it to your liking

Step 17: Send to Print

Step 18: ​Wood Parts

If you do not have 3D printer, you can make with wood or the material that you think I leave pictures where it was made in wood

Good luck!!!!
