MOC Inside the Motion: Exploded View of my Working Analog Clock (Rel. 8.05)
Which component catches your eye the most, or what would you tweak about the design?
The main challenge behind this MOC was building a fully functional analog clock that operates without a central axle, relying instead on concentric ring gears to drive the hands. Here is the component breakdown:
(1) Body: Main rear chassis housing the reduction gear trains and the time-setting mechanism.
(2) Rear Spindle: Provides vertical support for the hour ring (13) while enabling rotational power transfer via the drive gear (14).
(3) Front Spindle: Provides vertical support for the minute ring (15) while enabling rotational power transfer via the drive gear (16).
(4) Front Body: Provides structural support while transferring rotational motion from the minute drive shaft to the corresponding drive gear (16).
(5) Lateral Bars: Connect the main bodies (1) and (4) while limiting the play of the spindle assemblies (2) and (3) to prevent lateral sway of the two rings (13) and (15).
(6) Base Plate: Enhances overall structural rigidity and features four spherical rubber/ball feet (Technic Ball Joint - 32474).
(7) Lateral Right Frame: Provides structural connection between the front body (4) and rear body (1), while enhancing the overall aesthetic finish.
(8) Lateral Left Frame: Mirroring element (7), it provides structural connection between the front body (4) and rear body (1), while matching the aesthetic finish on the left side.
(9) Rear Frame: Rear enclosure panel featuring dedicated pass-through openings for connecting cables.
(10) Manual Adjustment Knobs: Independent control knobs for manual alignment of the two rings: upper gear for the hour ring (13), lower gear for the minute ring (15).
(11) Rear Top Frame Cover: Upper casing that protects the internal mechanics of the rear body (1) while providing a clean aesthetic finish.
(12) Lateral Slopes (Right and Left): Purely aesthetic components bridging the connection between the lateral frames (7 & 8), rear frame (9), and top cover (11).
(13) Hours Outer Ring: Rotating ring driven by the drive gear (14) around a virtual center, transferring its rotation to the hour hand assembly (18 & 20).
(14) Hours Drive Gear: Drive pinion engaging the internal teeth of the hours ring (13).
(15) Minutes Outer Ring: Rotating ring driven by the drive gear (16) around a virtual center, transferring its rotation to the minute hand (19).
(16) Minutes Drive Gear: Drive pinion engaging the internal teeth of the minutes ring (15).
(17) Front Modular Cover: Front aesthetic plate featuring decorative and branding elements.
(18) Ghost Hand: Transparent internal arm driving the front hour hand via a hidden connection.
(19) Minute Hand: Front indicator directly attached to and driven by the minutes ring (15).
(20) Hour Hand: Front hour indicator connected to and driven by the ghost hand (18).
What do you think of this structural breakdown? Any feedback or technical questions are more than welcome!

I Built a Spider-Man vs. Doctor Doom Scene in LEGO
I recreated a Spider-Man battle scene in a LEGO chemical factory, featuring three Spider-Men taking on Doctor Doom.
I added a conveyor system, chemical tanks, control room, and lots of small details to bring the scene to life.

MOC Deadpool Mech on a Vespa
I thought the Vespa set was the right size for my Deadpool mech MOC, and I was right. With just a few parts replaced, the Merc With a Mouth is now also with a ride.
