- Your clock is 151 mm across (about 5.9 inches).
- One clock motor turns the hands and spins all the gears together, so you only fit a single movement.
- If the wheels get big and heavy, one motor can struggle. Switch to the turning-gears style to add a second motor just for the gears.

Examples
Laser cut. The dark walnut ring gear and cogs sit over a warm cherry backplate, turned by a hidden quartz movement.
Materials used:
- TruFlat® Cherry Plywood for the backplate and centre wheel
- TruFlat® Walnut Plywood for the ring gear and outer wheels
Set the module and arbor bore to match your sheet thickness and quartz movement shaft before cutting.
Material used:
Individual wheels cut clean with sharp involute teeth, ready to mesh around the centre.

About
This free moving gear wall clock generator draws a complete laser-cut clock two ways. In the planetary style a sun wheel sits on the movement shaft, planets orbit around it, and an outer ring gear rims a backplate cut to the same diameter, so a single quartz movement turns the hands and spins the whole gear set together.
The catch is load. A quartz movement is built to sweep light hands, so hanging a set of wooden or acrylic wheels on the same shaft adds weight and friction that can slow it, drain the battery, or stall it once the gears get big. That is what the turning-cluster style solves: fixed wheels surround a free centre wheel whose bore is oversized, so the main movement's shaft passes straight through to the hands without turning the gears, and a second quartz movement or a small motor behind one wheel drives the cluster through extra holes in the backplate. The two drives never load each other, so the gears can be as large as you like while the clock keeps perfect time. It is a decorative display clock, not a mechanical clockwork.
For gears on their own, including planetary sets, racks and non-circular pairs, use the Gear Generator.
