I had this idea of a clock where the frame would move instead of the actual pointers in my head for quite some time, but I finally managed to turn it into something tangible. The clock (circle with two pointers) moves around the base once every hour. The video (https://youtu.be/f4Gc3qVG7UA) shows an accelerated version of the clock to illustrate its mechanism.

Everything is 3D-printed (without support), except for a small stepper motor (http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/Stepper_Motor_5V_4-Phase_5-Wire_%26_ULN2003_Driver_Board_for_Arduino) which I controlled with an Arduino. The backplate (backplate.stl) will need some modifications if you want to use it with a different motor.

Please consult the exploded view for instructions on how to assemble this. Most printed parts will have a tight fit, so you might need to use a hammer to press fit all components together. For me, just press fitting the components was enough to keep everything together, but you might opt for some add
