You might find that you have a better result printing the dials at a 45 incline from the plate to decrease supports and improve surface finish. (Screenie from PrusaSlicer in the pictures section shows what I mean in case you're confused)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will also need an M3 (3mm) grub screw or you can fashion one using an M3 screw: Cut off the screw head and cut a slot so that a flat screwdriver can turn it in. I'd imagine that a similar sized non metric screw would also work..\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRefer to the diagram pictures..\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut the 3 dials inside the Clock face. They should fit inside each other and be able to move independently. The ‘cog-like’  shapes should also protrude through the clock face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlign the slots on the dials so that they all line up with the 9 on the clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the Second hand, then the Minute hand, then Hour hands in place on the cogs at the required ‘unlock time’. Anchor the Hour hand in place using a 3mm grub screw which should lock the entire arrangement together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow when you put the base in place with the large hole lined up with the hole at the 9 you should be able to insert the ‘key’ and scramble the time to lock the container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not very secure and is possible to crack once the mechanism is understood. It is also very much a ‘first version’, so while it works OK there are lots of potential improvements that can be made to it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemixes encouraged!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by Narothar on MakerWorld (license: BY).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67383117676848,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_7b747570-3afd-4985-8d1b-e7223d1f0845.png?v=1784490275","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/clock-puzzle-by-vortyza","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
