How to Make a Simple Analog Clock in TinkerCad

In this project, I will be showing you how to make a simple analog clock in TinkerCad. To start, go to the first step.

Making the Clock Base

First, place a cylinder on the Workplane. Next, shorten the cylinder so it is 5.00 tall. Then make the shape 140.00 in length and width, so that the diameter is 140.00. Now advance to the next step.

Making the Clock Tick Marks

First, move the clock base to the side and bring a new cylinder onto the Workplane. Next, make the cylinder 10.00 in length and width, so that the diameter is 10.00. Also, shrink the cylinder down to 7.00 in height. Then copy the small shape and paste it three times so that there are four shapes in total on the Workplane. Now advance to the next step.

Putting the Ticks Onto the Clock

First, bring the clock base back onto the Workplane and color them to fit your preference (the pictures show black for the ticks and white for the base). Next, place the ticks in a cross on the clock base (the align tool can be used if needed). Then copy and paste a tick, make the length and width 15.00, and place it in the center of the clock. Also (this is optional): group the entire clock together and select Multicolor.

Making the Arrows (Part 1)

First, bring a box onto the Workplane and make it 7.00 in height. Next, make it 45.00 in length and 10.00 in width. Also, copy and paste the shape so that there are to of them. Then make the shape longer by 25.00 so that it is 70.00 in length.

Making the Arrows (Part 2)

First, bring a roof onto the Workplane, rotate it backwards by 90 degrees, and raise it upwards so that it is directly on the surface of the Workplane. Next, shrink it to 7.00 in height and copy and paste it so that there are two triangles. Then, bring the two rectangles back onto the Workplane and connect them together. (Don't forget to group each arrow together). Also (this is optional) color the arrows to fit your preference.

The Clock Is Complete!

Connect the arrows to the clock and voila! The TinkerCad clock is now completed. If the result is different than expected, the clock can be altered in any way to fit your preference.
