Really nice! Paint the side edges of the segments a different color and you’ll get a cool appearing color effect.
That’s such a great idea. Even better, use white filament for the the 1st layer and use another color filament for all the other layers.
Probably at least the first 2 layers, if you dont want to see the next color through it.
Apparently similarly mechanically powered displays involving cams to actuate number segments were pretty popular back in the day. Here’s a YouTube video I came across one day a while back about one: https://youtu.be/TANe2d0VTGQ?si=unBJmfzs6A_7PWkM
I got irrationally angry that the first digit in the clock could only be 1 or nothing until I saw the actual mechanism and realized that they did that to probably save on material.
The internal gearing is awesome, good stuff op
I adore the gear reveal
Looks pretty similar to jbv creative’s segmented display.
Yep, but I made mine first 😬 I believe we were both inspired by the work of Karakurist.
I like yours better than both, the way your design pushes and pulls the segments is wonderful.
I got that idea from this design.
Wow good job, love the idea and execution
Outstanding!
Watching it, my first thought was if it could also be used as s display for a large calculator? Guessing the computation part would require electronics, but then again, there used to be geared tabletop calculators.
Very nice work.
There were purely mechanical calculators back in the day.
They were absolutely massive.
They could be made fairly small. The Curta calculator was hand held. Unfortunately, they are very expensive now, but there is a simulator online if you want to play with one.
Yes, absolutely. Just needs one motor per digit.
Wow! That is super cool!
Is it as loud as it seems in the video?
The video exagerates it a bit. But it is audible. Of course the clock will only move once a minute.
That’s like, damn near 60 times an hour
I’m curious about this too!
This is an analog clock in the style of a digital one.
It is digital because it has digits instead of pointers. It is also digital in the sense that it has discrete states.
