Violin Clock

French As independent artists, we created these 3D clocks using real objects for the hands. These clocks were entirely conceived, crafted, & assembled by hand in our workshop. The ingenious assembly system ensures optimal operation of the hands despite their weight & size. Our unique clocks represent a true innovation. They are made with 3D printed hands & are composed of dozens of handcrafted parts, each assembled individually. Some parts are 3D printed. The preparation & manual assembly require many hours of work in our workshop. The main problem posed & solved was being able to rotate needles of very unusual size, volume & weight, using a small battery-powered electric mechanism, & therefore limited in torque (rotational force) & in the possibility of offsetting the needles (total thickness). Enter the 7th dimension 7Dclocks 7D = 3D + Art + innovation + science + time. Technical specifications: 1.5V clock mechanism. Miniature violin & wooden bow, 23 cm. Second hand made using 3D printing - 7Dclocks2014 Printed numbers - 7Dclocks2014 Black aluminum frame 40x40 cm. Front face: transparent PmmA / Back face: black PVC. 3D printed housing for the mechanism - 7Dclocks2014 Innovative & unique system for supporting & rotating the hands - 7Dclocks2014 Total weight = 2.5 kg (provide support & fixing largely suitable for this weight). For shipping methods & costs, please contact us ([email protected]) These clocks are functional but are works of art; the artists of 7Dclocks cannot be held responsible for any malfunction, breakage, or any other anomaly after receipt. ATTENTION: Each piece is unique, made to order & assembled by hand, & small defects may be found here or there, thank you for your understanding. ENGLISH As independent artists, we created these clocks using real objects to make its hands. These numbered clocks were entirely dreamt, produced & handmade by us in our workshop. The ingenuity of the assembly system allows an optimal functioning of the hands, in spite of their weight & volume. Our unique clocks represent a real innovation. They indeed consist of big & heavy 3D hands, & are made up of numerous handmade parts for each type of clock. Some parts are manufactured by 3D printing. The preparation & the manually assembling of our clocks need many hours of work in our workshop. The main problem encountered & solved was how to make turn clock hands of very unusual size, volume & weight, using a small electric mechanism with battery, then with a limited torque (rotating strength) & a limited total possible thickness of hands. Each clock has a unique number with a certificate of authenticity 7Dclocks. Enter into the 7th dimension 7Dclocks 7D = 3D + Art + innovation + science + time.

Case support of the mechanism made by 3D printing - 7Dclocks 2014 Innovative & unique system of support & rotation of the hands - 7Dclocks2014 Total weight = 2.5 kg (plan to use a fixation widely adapted to this weight).
