Can the Dials be printed?I think that’s where a lot of customization can be done on the assembly side. Concave raised indices that the buyer or maker can add their own lume to and paint the dial to suit their own taste.
Great work, I had been working on a 3d printed NH35 case as well, but you beat me to it! I already purchased the files on your site and started printing. Keep an eye out for an email, I'd love to do a video with you.
Very interesting video, but then, I may just be a bore! I have been thinking about getting a 3D printer, you may have just given me reason to do it. This for me is a great place to "think outside the box". Traditional watch making used steel for its strength and polished or buffed it for visual interest. Using this technique you are challenging that long-held belief. You are introducing colour into an area which hasn't had too much attention (other than will it be bronze, silver or gold colour). I'm really not sure about the blue colour you used but presumably these 3D cases could be painted? How would that look? Whilst watching your video (no pun intended) my mind strayed to 3D printing bracelet type straps. Someone a lot more imaginative than me is going to come up with some elaborate chain-linkage I am sure. Well done for doing what you have so far. I look forward to other people running with your idea and seeing where the freedom from metal parts takes design.
Hey thank you for the feedback. Yes I've been on a journey of "will this work" to "what can I do that traditional watchmaking can't". The possibilities are endless and I've got loads of ideas floating around. I'm pushing to develop some sort of movement (watch movement that is)!
Fuck this is so cool!!! Have you considered making a 3d printed strap as well? TPU might work for something like that. Just to make it as fully 3D printed as possible.
Hi can you please do same for seiko VH31 mecha quartz movement its sweep hand quartz movement just like spring dive of grand seiko and its cheap. There are not kuch cases available for vh31 it would great if you deaign one thats 3d printable.
Very informative, thank you so much
M1.6x4 available on my website
Thank you!
Amazing, what size screws are you using for the backing?
Excellent! Maybe a groove for a greased gasket next.
Great suggestion!

Yes, I have developed a lower cost build that uses a quartz movement and a 3D printed dial.
@@ThePrintableWatchCo That sound interesting.I would be a buyer if you make it available.
@@ThePrintableWatchCo I just saw it on your website and will be ordering..thanks for responding.Thx Carl

beautiful congratulations. Can it be purchased and then modified and used for commercial purposes? Well done.
email me directly to discuss - info@theprintablewatch.com
almost on the dame level as "bio ceramic" haha. Really though this is very awesome. Would be great to make one for a f91/f105 case for more colors.
Maybe push glass from outside? At least better a bit for waterproof
I've tried an tested this and I can't get the same performance as installing from the inside. The weak point is the crown.

Certainly have thought about it, watch this space.
is this waterproof case ?
Thanks for the video !
Sadly not waterproof, working on it though!
Maybe trying electro-plating on the case?
Good shout!

It's in the works so watch this space!
Would this work with a myota 8 movement?
Currently not but I do want to make it compatible with more movements.
@@ThePrintableWatchCo What size screws are used for the case back?
@@MattDiComo m1.6x4mm
Would you please send me the files of this print
For sale on my website theprintablewatch.com
That wouldn't survive 10ft under water. Prove me wrong.
Who said it would?
@@ThePrintableWatchCo Then what's the point? It's useless.
