9-to-5 Tachometer Piston Clock
Assembly video
RPM-style desk clock on a 3D-printed piston. You print the parts; add Bambu Lab Clock Kit 011 and two M5 screws. No MMU required. Dial goes 9 to 17 with the red zone at 3.
A desk clock that looks like a tachometer on an engine piston - because 9-to-5 deserves a red zone. The dial runs 9 to 17 (x1000 RPM) with the red zone at 3. You get five angles for the piston head and rod so you can pick the one you like.
Print the piston in gray or black, add red if you want, then build with the Bambu Lab Clock Components Kit 011 (HR-1688 movement and custom 3D-printed hands). Two M5x30 mm screws hold the base. No MMU needed - single-color or manual filament swap is fine.
