I built this EC1515B clock kit several years ago and it has just sat around without a case ever since. There are other 3d printable cases out there for these clocks, but me being me, I wanted something unique. To my knowledge, no one has ever put one in a grandfather clock. This is printed in multiple sections without supports for any component, so long as the pieces are printed in the orientation in which they are presented. I printed the pins with a brim, but if you can print these without one, I would highly suggest you forgo a brim. As small as they are, they are a pain to get off. For assembly, you will need four 3mm nuts; four 3mm bolts, 10mm long; and eight 3mm bolts, 8mm long. Assembly is pretty straight forward. The finials are glued in place with pins. The topper is screwed to the mainface with 3mm bolts. The mainface is screwed to the central portion with 3mm bolts. The central section is glued to the base with pins. The spindles are glued in place on the mainface, aligning the corners of the spindles with the corners of the mainface. The clock itself is screwed to the mainface with 3mm x 10mm bolts and nuts. The mainface_lid is screwed in place with 3mm bolts. The finished product is right at 14" tall.   ---If you print this, I would really appreciate two things: 1) Please share your photos and 2) It'd be awesome if you could tip me a little something for this model. I worked really hard on this one and I am pretty proud of it.
