Grandfather's Clock With Tinkercad

Have you ever pondered the feasibility of crafting a Grandfather's Clock in the digital realm? Well, for this competition, I've crafted one using Tinkercad, a user-friendly and freely accessible website. The idea originated from a storybook featuring a Grandfather's Clock that is located in a character's home. Without delay, let's embark on the journey of crafting this timeless piece!

P.S: Below are also photos of important steps to aid in making the product, which you can have a look as well.

Materials needed:

1. Computer
2. Mouse
3. Good Internet

Step 1.1: Drag a solid cylinder and make the following adjustments to the measurement: 50mm X 50mm X 2mm (Height).

Step 1.2: Drag a hole cylinder and make the following adjustments to the measurement: 45mm X 45mm X 1mm (Height).

Step 1.3: Position the hole cylinder so that it can be seen from the top (shown in picture).

Step 1.4: Group the cylinders together.

Step 1.5: Position the numbers 1-9 on the clock with own size measurement (10, 11 and 12 can be made by grouping 0, 1 and 2 respectively).

Step 1.6: Hide the current product and drag a solid box. Make the following adjustments to the measurement: 1mm (Height) X 0.5mm (Width) X 5.5mm (Length).

Step 1.7: Add a triangular roof to the rectangular prism. Scale the roof until the base of the roof is the same as the width of the rectangular prism.

Step 1.8: Group them together. Then, duplicate the product and adjust the length to make the arrow slightly shorter.

Step 1.9: Rotate the shorter hand to about 20 degrees (or any rotation) and group them together to make the hour and minute hand (Feel free to add in a solid cylinder in the measurement of 2mm X 2mm X 2mm if necessary).

Step 1.10: Group the minute-hour hand and the existing clock together to get a round clock (Remember to set colours to multiple to see the colour effect).

Step 1.11: Rotate the clock 90 degrees to the front to make the clock stand. Save the clock for later purpose.

Step 2.1: Drag a solid box with the measurements: 20mm (Width) X 50mm (Length) X 5mm (Height).

Step 2.2: Drag another solid box and put it on top of the base. Adjust the measurements to the following: 11mm (Width) X 20mm (Length) X 31.5mm (Height).

Step 2.3: Drag 15 solid round roofs and put them close to each other. Then make them as hole object.

Step 2.4: Group the rectangular prism in step 2.2 and the 15 hole round roofs together. This is to create an effect of a slope by the side of the Grandfather's Clock.

Step 2.5: Drag a solid wedge and scale it to the following measurements: 0.5mm (Width) X 20mm (Length) X 20mm (Height). Place it on top of the slope.

Step 2.6: Group the two shapes (Wedge and Slope) together. Then, duplicate it once and mirror the duplicated object. After that, position it to the other side of the base.

Step 2.7: Drag another solid box and scale it to the following measurements: 20mm (Width) X 28mm (Length) X 70mm (Height). Place it in between the two slopes.

Step 2.8: Drag a solid roof and place it on top of the rectangular prism in step 2.7.

Step 2.9: Group the entire thing.

Step 2.10: Drag in the ready made clock in step 1 to the clock. Position the clock at the upper part of the clock (close to the roof) and save some space for step 3. Make sure that the clock is sticking to the body, with no gap in between.

Step 3.1: Drag a hole box and scale it to the following: 19.5mm (Width) X 20mm (Length) X 26mm (Height). Make sure that the hole object CANNOT be seen at the back. Group the body with the hole box.

Step 3.2: Drag a solid box and scale it to the following: 5mm (Width) X 5mm (Length) X 16mm (Height). Then, drag a solid cylinder and scale to the following: 8mm (Radius) X 8mm (Radius) X 2mm (Height). After that, place them in the empty area and group them together.

Step 3.3: Group EVERYTHING together. And you are done!
