Free Clock Hands Generator
Design hour, minute, and second hands: export SVG for laser or STL for 3D print. No signup.
About the Clock Hands Generator
Design the hour, minute, and second hands for your clock. Pick a preset, adjust shape, length, width, and counterweight per hand, and pick whether you want a laser-cut SVG or a 3D-printed STL. Each hand has its own shaft-hole size so the hands fit your clock movement exactly.
Design a face and matching hands in minutes. Both tools export machine-ready files in millimeter units: cut the face and the hands from the same sheet of acrylic or wood, or print them on the same bed.
File Formats
SVG (laser cutting): millimeter units, single cut layer. Works with LightBurn, LaserGRBL, Glowforge, xTool Creative Space, and any software that reads SVG.
STL (3D printing): extruded to your chosen thickness, ready for Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, or any slicer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats does the Clock Hands Generator export?
You can choose between SVG (for laser cutting, millimeter units) and STL (for 3D printing, extruded to your chosen thickness).
What shaft hole size should I pick?
Each hand sits on its own shaft, so each one gets its own hole. A standard quartz movement takes about 5.5 mm for the hour hand, 3.6 mm for the minute hand and 1 mm for the second hand, and those are the defaults. Movements vary, so measure each shaft and set the three holes to match.
Can I use these hands on a pre-made clock face?
Yes: the hands are standalone parts that work with any standard clock movement.
Do I need to create an account?
No. The Clock Hands Generator is browser-based and completely free. No sign-up and no account; your design work happens right in your browser. Designer Bee keeps only anonymous usage stats, like which settings get exported, to keep improving the tools.
