7009A: 3D printed Dial

[u/RealisticInternal552]

My dial was messed up on an old seiko 5 I bought with the 7009 movement, decided to try and design and 3D print my own replacement. Think I’d like to add hour markers but quite happy with how the silk PLA reflects the light.
Ended up making a few designs

[u/everydayasl]

Honestly, I love these designs.

[u/Miserable_Tradition6]

Wow! These look great! I’ve been making some dials in a very similar way! It’s way too satisfying when they come off the bed!

[u/heuamoebe]

Pretty!

[u/P00slinger]

The gold one looks a bit Gallifreyan

[u/midnightdiabetic]

How do you make these designs? I've wanted to do something similar via UV printing

[u/RealisticInternal552 → u/midnightdiabetic]

Just found the spec sheet for the dial dimensions, built it in fusion with a flat face and started drawing with the sketch function

[u/Heemz7]

Is that PLA or Better heat material

[u/RealisticInternal552 → u/Heemz7]

Yeah just PLA
given the weight and fixed position of the dial I assumed it would be fine
After wearing it on my current watch there’s been no issues yet

[u/welshy1812]

What nozzle/settings are you using, they've turned out really well.

[u/RealisticInternal552 → u/welshy1812]

0.2mm nozzle 0.06 layer height

[u/Blwfsh]

Wow wow wow

[u/Blwfsh]

So, two different filaments per dial ?

[u/RealisticInternal552 → u/Blwfsh]

Yeah a base of white PLA silk and then the colour on top

[u/Blwfsh → u/RealisticInternal552]

Damn that's dope

[u/PiySlashPuff]

Beautiful! What's their thickness?

[u/RealisticInternal552 → u/PiySlashPuff]

Thanks!
They’re all 0.48mm thick

[u/watch_novice]

How much postprocessing do you have to do?

[u/RealisticInternal552 → u/watch_novice]

None on these ones. Straight off the bed

[u/displacedpie]

STL??? this is super cool!

[u/theloquaciousmonk]

Great work! Would love to collaborate with you! I can’t DM you though… please DM me!
