01 /The design
A clock built around the ornament.
The winged skull rises above the circular dial, while the pointed lower detail extends the outline beneath it. The five-layer structure separates the ornament from the clock face.
The overall design is approximately 290 × 330 mm, with a largest layer of about 290 × 290 mm. The PDF includes assembly information and recommendations for the clock mechanism.
Five-layer clock.
Layered ornament surrounds the circular dial.
Optional backlighting.
The design provides space for LED backlighting; LEDs are not supplied.
Check the movement.
The original design specifies a 16 mm clock mechanism depth.
A real build
Made from the files.
A physical build, with the maker’s choice of materials and finish.
02 /At your workbench
Choose your material.Make it fit.
Check the mechanism.
Read the PDF recommendations before buying a clock movement. The design specifies a 16 mm mechanism depth.
Keep the layers aligned.
Measure your material and keep all five layers at the same scale. Check the small details and fit before cutting the full set.
Follow the guide.
Use the included PDF for the assembly sequence and clock-mechanism recommendations. LEDs and the movement are separate hardware.
Plan this build.
Choose the clock movement using the PDF recommendations before cutting. If you resize the artwork, check its mechanism opening separately; the hardware dimensions do not change with the design.
At the 3 mm material scale, no individual part exceeds 290 mm. This refers to one part, not the assembled model or the whole cutting layout. Rescaling changes that limit.

Can I use thicker material for more depth?
The original design does not recommend thicker material. The clock mechanism and opening need to fit the assembled layers; follow the PDF recommendations and check your hardware before cutting.
What do I receive?
SVG, DXF, AI and CDR digital design files and PDF assembly instructions with clock-mechanism recommendations. The clock movement, LEDs, materials and other physical hardware are not supplied.
Can I change the scale?
Keep the layers at one common scale, but check the clock mechanism opening separately. A standard movement will not grow with the artwork. The original design does not recommend thicker material; test the fit before changing the scale.
Can I use the design commercially?
