Chronocube 1.0

I started this project with the intent of participating in the 'Making Time' contest. My objective was to create a cool-looking table ornament with practical usage. Initially, I designed a standing clock but had the challenge of living in the United States while wanting to see the time at my home in Thailand. Approaching this concern, the Chronocube came as a solution, capable of showcasing over four distinct time zones. Now, keeping track of time across the globe is only at your fingertips!

You're going to need [any kind of] 3D printer to print your Chronocube. You're also going to need 4 small-sized clocks. If you're making the same Chronocube below, you must purchase the exact clock in the picture to ensure your cube and clock are fitted.

Now once you have all of the supplies, let's start!

On Tinkercad, download the design of the Chronocube. Otherwise, If you would like, you can use my design as a base to create a unique cube of your own! Add any kind of elements to make your cube distinct from other cubes.

Once you have downloaded the Tinkercad design, print it!, Do whatever color you want! Once you have completed the 3D Printing, your cube should look like this. The picture on the left is from the top view, in the second picture, the cube is flipped.

Before you assemble the Chronocube, set the time on each clock to your desired time zone. For example, I set 1 clock for the time in Tokyo,1 for the time in Bangkok, 1 for the time in Minnesota, and the last for Munich. Make sure you got the seconds correct, your clock could be a few seconds off but that's fine. Just make sure the time is as accurate as possible.

Insert each of the clocks into the corresponding side in the Chronocube. Once you have completed it, it should look like the picture above. Use an invisible tape, double-sided tape, or a glue gun to make sure the clock is fitted and won't come off. For my one, I used double-sided tape to stick the back of the clock to the Chronocube.

Label each side with the time zone you chose. See the picture for example, but this is objective, Decorate however you see fit!

You're done! You can use the Chronocube to decorate your room anywhere. Put this on your worktable to see what time it is on the other side of the world!
