Two hours in, the first layer is nearly done. Hilbert infill is tedious, but sometimes the effect is worth it. I'll find out in four more hours how the whole piece looks.

This is a dual color silk PLA on a bumpy build sheet for extra texture.

In context, the texture is not overpowering. I wasn't sure how it would be.

Yeah, it's a wall clock. A hard-to-read wall clock. It is 1:01 in this photo.

I got the clock model here. I tweaked it a little, but I started with this.

Six o'clock and all's well!

The squares align eight times a day. I caught it at 6:00 and adjusted the hand positions.

@kbob how is it that there is an isolated piece missing? Shouldn't the line be continuous?

@Ntropic If the surface size is exactly a power of two times the Hilbert curve size, then yes, it should be continuous. But it would be a coincidence if it were. So the surface is tiled with Hilbert curve fragments, I guess.

Since the surface could be any arbitrary polygon, it has to be this way.
