I made this pocketwatch for my mother's birthday who is a huge fan of the game: Return Of The Obra Dinn.
If you know me, I'm not satisfied with making props that's only function is to look nice. So I had the crazy idea of having a working pocketwatch with a metal lid.
I had designed a 3D printer for a class and had just finished building it. So I thought i'd put it to good use.
I purchased a normal pocketwatch, removed the lid, modeled a new lid, 3D printed that lid, used that 3D print to make a cast, filled that cast with liquid aluminum, then meticulously tooled it so it would fit on the pocketwatch.
then I hand painted the logo of the game on the box the watch came in. (which took way longer than i thought it would)
Was it worth the time? probably not. But i'm pretty proud of it. and it made my mom happy so i'm satisfied.
