[Reflect on the process of making this project. What did you learn? What would you do differently?]

As someone who had no previous CAD modeling or laser-cutting experience, I learned a lot during the process of making this clock. 

First of all, I learned the importance of modeling efficiently - there are more than one ways to create the same pattern, and sometimes starting over and taking another path can actually save more time.

During modeling, I accidentally created a lot of open geometries which caused me a lot of troubles later. I will definitely be careful of this kind of mistakes in future sketching.

If I were to make a clock again, I would be more careful with the thickness measurements and calculations so that the clock arms would not be floating. I would also try to incorporate more original elements.
