Do you have any ideas?

In a new version would definitely use a more powerful stepper motor so that it can run 24/7. Since this was just a showpiece that wasn’t meant to be used for 24/7 timekeeping I used a smaller motor, which ran hot. This would also allow me to add a “fast run” mode so that the time can be adjusted quickly since there is no way of disengaging the gears.

I would also remove the mounting holes in the plates — maybe just replace them with small pilot holes.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Any chance you can post the CAD/DXF files? Anything you’d change in a second iteration?
