FreeCAD alarm clock

This is a FreeCAD project modeling an alarm clock. I have a real alarm clock on my desk and reproduced it in FreeCAD as an exercise.

Project manifest: * The FreeCAD files in /parts. The top-level assembly is asm_main.FCStd. * An exploded view of the labeled parts. * The assembly graph with all parts and assemblies. * Thumbnail views for all the parts and assemblies. * Photographs of the real alarm clock for reference.

main_front main_back

Thumbnails and photographs are included as part of a separate downloadable data release.

Parts diagram

The following diagram lists all the parts on an exploded view.

exploded diagram

The parts are grouped by assemblies according to the following diagram

assemblies graph

Animating

The animation of assemblies for the purpose of producing exploded views is controlled by the variable explode in the file master_animator.

Software

I used FreeCAD 0.19.4 for Void Linux 64bits. The assemblies are made using Assembly4.

Limitations

This is my first FreeCAD project, and among my first CAD projects. As such there are doubtlessly some awkward choices in the design.

There are warnings that I do not know how to resolve about out-of-scope links.
Overall I am happy with the design of parts, which is made with sketches in the PartDesign workbench. There may be beginner mistakes.
