## No, but why?
|
||||
I like the idea of a timepiece with one revolution per day instead of the one we're used to.
|
||||
Clock face was designed in OpenSCAD as manually positioning hour segments and applying changes would be very cumbersome.
|
||||
|

12 on top due to personal preference: daytime on top, nighttime on bottom (as indicated by the sun and moon).

## Engraving & Cutting with Laser
|
||||
As RDworks fails to properly read in the DXF exported by OpenSCAD, a detour through Inkscape is necessary (unless using Lightburn, I presume). If not using RDworks, skip following. From OpenSCAD export as SVG. In Inkscape save the exported SVG as a DXF file. That DXF file can be opened in RDworks.

Same procedure has to be done with `part_clock_outline.scad` to use as a cutting outline.

Tips:
|
||||
- Cut against the wood grain, not along (as in + not =).
