## Why?
|

Couldn't find a wall clock design I liked so made my own.

Clock face was designed in OpenSCAD as manually positioning hour segments and applying changes would be very cumbersome. The preview image (`clock_face_inverted2scorch.svg`) was inverted from `clock.svg` with Inkscape.

## No, but why?
|
||||||
|
I like the idea of a timepiece with one revolution per day instead of the one we're used to.

## 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.

Tips:
|
||||||
|
- Cut against the wood grain, not along (as in + not =).
|
||||||
|
- Mask the board with tape (painters or masking tape, the paper kind). This way smoke and soot wont tarnish the board.

On a 100W CO2 Laser With following properties:
|
||||||
|
- Engraving layer: 350mm/s@30% power
|
||||||
|
- Number edge cutting layer: 50mm/s@10%
|
||||||
|
- Outline cutting layer: 25mm/s@45%
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Timing
|
||||||
|
- Engraving took ~45 min
|
||||||
|
- Number edge cutting ~3 min
|
||||||
|
- Outline cutting \<1 min
