Its always fun to see a new verson of the clock! This ‘rolling’ clock would make a great conversation piece. From HFoG on Thingiverse:
This is a “simple” 3d printed ball clock that uses 3/8” diameter steel bearings to count the time. (I put “simple” in quotes because designing this thing and perfecting it has been anything but simple.)
My goal was to create a ball clock that could be 3d printed relatively easily on an Ender 3 class 3d printer and assembled without too much fuss. I’ve seen and taken inspiration from other ball clocks (particularly 3Dadicto’s clock: https://ift.tt/39MoDe8) but they all seemed larger and more complex than what I was going for. This version has only a handful of models that need to be printed (all without supports) and the final assembly is pretty easy.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
