Let’s make … a 3D printed clock with a twist! Watch as every 12 hours, Sisyphus pushes a boulder up a hill, only to fall back down and have to do it again. Perfect for your office space.
Everything is printed in PLA with a .4 mm nozzle, .2 mm layer height, and 30% infill. A few items will need supports, and the spacers could benefit from a brim. The face, bob front, mountain, hands, and Sisyphus need a filament change near the end of the print to add more colors.
A video about this project, including tips on building, is available at
