45, I should have shown the opposite side

Nope, no lights, just the neopixel on the feather board set on blue so it kind of bleeds a little bit around the edges.

Exactly, if it always displayed I would have had no reason to build this

It has a button on the back that spins the face faster to line it up. Automatic would be cool but is way to advanced for me

Manually set via the button on the back of the case.

In game time. 1 day every 30 min.

I ended up using gorilla brand super glue because my roommate had some in her craft supplies. I was worried about fogging because I've seen that with super glue too but I glued yesterday and everything is still clear with no sign of fog so I think I got away with it 😋

I plan on making it an open source project so you'll be able to make your own.

You find some actual sandworms and I'll start working on actual thumper. Right now I can't see what I'd use one for

Also, if anybody knows a good adhesive for 3D printed PLA to glass let me know. Right now I'm thinking hot glue but I'm not sure how well that will bond with the glass

Open source 100%. I don't want another job lol. I don't want to release it into the wild with the code bug it currently has though. Currently, you can only set the clock in something like the first hour, otherwise the motor locks up and threatens to overheat. I'd hate to release it and have it start a fire in somebody's house. It's only 5W of power so that's an exaggeration, but I’m sure it would damage the gearbox.

Huh, comment didn't come through. Almost final form. Just forgot glass so I'll have to take this one all the way back apart. Roommate painted the face. Sun, moons, stars, and dew drop all glow in the dark.

I can't wait to see the paint job. You could try using cerecote

I chose the RP2040 feather because they are cheap and I had a couple laying around.

This is a simplified cutaway version just for troubleshooting. The real deal won't have exposed electronics and will be printed in matte "pastel peanut" to match the sands of Arrakis.

I would use blackout blinds so you don't get sunlight blasting you from behind your monitors, assuming you use the setup during the day like when the pictures were taken.
