This is a remix of Svw's cool Melting Dali Clock on Printables. It is a rendition of Salvador Dali's melting clock in his famous surrealist painting “The Persistence of Memory”. I modified the clock hand attachment parts to be able to use readily available, inexpensive clock movements. This is the clock movement that I used. I also made the clock face and numbers one piece to use with an AMS, rather than gluing on tiny numbers. I found that the hands would catch on the numbers and stall the movement. If you don't have an AMS, you can paint the numbers on. The tapered nylon(?) shafts of cheap Chinese clock movements are difficult to grab onto. To remedy this, take a small hack saw blade (fine tooth preferably) and lightly make cuts around the minute and hour shafts, near the base of each shaft, to make grooves for the teeth of the 3D printed hour and second tubes to grab onto. Be careful to only cut lightly--do not cut all the way through! For the second hand, use a 1.0mm OD
