This is a medium size clock in a series called "Crazy Gear Desk Clocks". The gears are continually in motion providing a very striking look. The clock operates silently with a typical accuracy of better than one second per month.
A video of the larger version of this clock is at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ReKnLMyxin4
Additional videos showing assembly steps are coming soon.
The overall size is 11.75" by 12.75" (300x325mm). Total print time is around 74 hours on a Prusa MK3S using 0.8kg of PLA. The largest component will fit on a Prusa Mini or any machine with at least a 175x175mm print area.

14-May-23 Update: Fixed a typo in the assembly guide and added a few additional diagrams. Typically, the most up-to-date assembly guide can always be downloaded from https://www.stevesclocks.com/sp10
17-May-23 Update: Added optional frame components with the legs merged into the center component. The file names are frame_*_merged.stl. They are not described in the assembly guide, but the steps should be obvious. The legs are pre-attached so the assembly steps to add the legs are no longer needed. They will need a printer with a 260x180mm print area.
