The file 'Chain Clock 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 405.9KB.
This is clock is a functional timepiece that shows roughly the time by rotating a roller chain twice per day.
It works with a simple clock mechanism.The chain is 26 cm long.
2x M3 screws 6-10mm
1x clock mechanism, the shaft needs to be 20mm in total length, this is the one I bought:

Print the following parts:
Chain:
Depending on your printer, you might need to sand the links to reduce the friction in the chain. Otherwise the chain will skip and the time will not be accurate.
Chain assembly:
Print some test pieces and test the fit first. The CL_OuterPlate should fit on the pins with some force and stay (use a hammer if needed).
The assemble like shown in the pictures. There should be 5 rollers between the numbers.
Body assembly:
Insert bearing into the holder.
Push pin through the bearing like in the pictures.
Push the Big Gear onto the pin.
Insert clock mechanism and secure with lid.
Push the Small Gear onto the minute hand of the clock mechanism.
Insert the assembled holder into the enclosure and secure witth M3 screws.
Push one of the Sprockets onto the pin.
