Acrylic Pendulum Clock

This project includes some code to design, visualize, and laser-cut parts of an acrylic pendulum clock. See the full write-up.

The clock.py program generates a JSON file describing the parts of the clock. Run it using this command:

make json

You can then visualize it by starting a static web server:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

and visiting http://localhost:8000/ with a modern web browser, such as Chrome.

Run this command to convert the JSON file into an SVG file suitable for cutting on a laser cutter:

make cut
