Clock Plan
For my clock I plan on using the 3D printer for the shell of my clock. I am going to use the laser engraver to engrave my name into the top of the shell and lastly I will use the vinyl cutter for my numbers.
Laser Engraver
For my laser part I just engraved my name into the top of my clock. I also engraved the word clock so everyone knows what it is. I did this so that everyone knows that I made the clock.
3D Printer
For the 3D printer I made my 7 by 7 square shell and without inventor I couldn't make the corners rounded like I would have. I also wanted to add a little fancy design on the top but I didn't know how to do that without access to Inventor. I made my shell 9 mm thick because the pieces work with something up to 11 mm. I also extruded a hole in the center for the clock hands to go.

Vinyl Cutter
Time Management
If we were in the lab to manage my time the best I would have designed my shell to be 3D printed the first because it would take the longest to print and I need that to put everything on it. Next I would have designed the numbers and my laser engraving on illustrator while the shell was printing. If I did it fast enough I would have printed out my numbers on the vinyl cutter so they were ready for application right after I laser engraved it.
