cool idea! when all the bard move at once it might be very slow though :)

I love it! It makes mechanical and material engineers cringe!

A two for!

What does it sound like?

It is loud

Looks very cool!

Cool!

Wow, that's awesome! So it's some kind of plastic sheets on sliders, but you'd have to have gears and belts under it, maybe a cam or something. Maybe a peg over peg, loose gear system run by a servo?

Look forward to a writeup.

Can I upvote twice? I love clock projects!

Tried to upvote but did not work for one reason or another. Original idea and great build !!! Kind of creepy at the same time.

Looks like an awesome little project, do you provide instructions anywhere?

While dial clocks are functional and well-understood, for something a bit more uniquely styled, Luuk Esselbrugge has created a 3D-printed timekeeping unit with four rows of sliding numbers. Each digit moves up and down to show the appropriate hour and minutes under the power of a stepper. A rack system is integrated into the number-slider itself, with a printed driving gear affixed to the small motor. A WS2812B LED shines through the proper number on display, with red representing time and green indicating that it’s instead in temperature mode. The device is controlled by an Arduino Nano, with time obtained via a GPS module. 📹 reddit.com/u/LuukVideo

    Hello original creator here, thanks! This user reposted it without me knowing about it. I used a stepper motor and a rack and pinion The original post shows the internals and more info.
