      The inevitable question, can you produce another clock and how much? lol

      Technically, yes I could print more, and in theory I could knock one out using the Sneaky Pete or Fangs logo. However, I’m not sure anyone would be willing to pay enough to make it worth my while. I learned a ton from my project and have some ideas on how to improve it, but it will require a complete rebuild of the 3D model. The striping makes more work too, and I’d need to be able to finance a new larger printer before attempting this again – the main body of my clock is 42 pieces which is just a pain to assemble so being able to print larger pieces would remove a ton of headaches.

      I didn’t know what to do with all the old brake discs and pads, spark plugs, differential gears, clutches and so on.
      So i decided to make a Viper Garage Clock.
      That’s what came out of it :):D;)

      I got plenty bored being stuck in the house all winter so I spent way too much time with my 3D printer making a new clock to hang in my garage. It’s about 3 feet wide and wasn’t super stable when I first assembled it, but I eventually worked around that by printing a few extra support pieces to make it more rigid.

      Unfortunately, I hated how it looked with white walls, so I ended up repainting my whole garage and now I’m debating doing an epoxy floor — this thing has turned into way more time and money than I was expecting, but it looks pretty nice now that I’ve finally got it hanging up.

      The lighting in my garage isn’t great for pictures, but you get the idea:
