A miniature timeglass. Instead of the boring 2D marker I wanted a 3D hourglass and was not really happy with the designs already on thingiverse. This design should be easy to assemble straight out of the printer.

To make the it functional you need to print the 0,6 mm version of the glass in clear plastic. Alternatively print in vase mode without top and bottom. I chose to use clear ABS which I later vapor treated to get more clear.

I used a dremel to make the bases look more like wood. After painting a layer of shader is used to make the dremel cuts darker. Dry brushing with a slightly lighter color can also be used to further enhance a wood-like structure.

For sand I used crushed silica gel.

If you like my designs please consider donating a coffee or any amount really, I appreciate the gesture.
