Simple Hex Watch

I had been looking around for an inexpensive, simple, and thin watch for a few weeks when I realized that it would be more fun to build one on my own. By build, I really mean design, create, and assemble the housing to hold a prefabricated watch movement purchased online.

Over the course of a few weeks I decided on a simple hexagonal shape for the watch and built a model of it in Fusion360. This was my first major undertaking in the software, and proved to be a valuable introductory lesson to basic modeling in the new space. Ultimately, much of the modeling experience felt similar to SolidWorks, and is quite a powerful piece of free software to have on hand.

The final product didn't turn out a nicely as I would have liked, but showed me the capabilities of the lulzbot 3D printer and mystery laser cutter at the Asheville Maker Space. I am looking forward to making a version two sometime in the next few months!
