Reel Spool Clock

Something for people who are tired with „typical” clocks. For people who like combination of modern and old. For reel-to-reel decks and vintage audio fans. For people who like the nostalgic aesthetics of 60’ and 70’.

Great and funcional desk decoration.

Rotating spool show hours and NAB shows minutes. Clock enclosure is in the shape of Revox capstan motor with its characteristic ribs – that’s the little secret that makes it so accurate! Perfect case for completely silent and accurate Bambu Lab creative kit clock mechanism :)

There are two optional NABs to chose from. I prefer the one with basic line showing minutes. For people who prefer something easier to read – the one with long minute arm.

About the model:

9cm in diameter, 9cm long and around 12.5cm high.

How to build this model:

1. Put clock mechanism into dial part. Don’t use rubber washer as all dimensions were prepared without it in mind.
2. Add battery and insert dial inside capstan (main body of the model).
3. Insert stand into hole in main body.
4. Insert spool on the mechanism showing any full hour you found the easiest way to center it (I used „3”).
5. Add NAB to show perfectly „00” minutes.
6. Adjust the clock to current time.
7. Close the case with back part.

If you like the model and you want to give it thumbs up, please also consider downloading it. It cost you just one additional click and it’s very important to me. Also check my other models, maybe you will find something interesting :) Thank you!

Happy printing!
