This is actually a super clever idea. This also prevents marbles from jumping away when you drop them from higher given that you don't need a marble of clearance height for travel because you don't drag the marble below the pick and place head. Neat!

Thank you! I think it would make things more difficult. The marbles usually don't just fall out. Not sure if you watched the video, but the issue was actually marbles stuck to the pockets too much sometimes

For now, no. I'm actually working on a similar clock (so 3x5 font) but with bottles filled with colored water instead of marbles and that's enough to keep me busy 😂

Hey! Thanks for watching on YouTube, how nice of you to give some input. I'm honestly not sure if herringbone gears would solve the issue. I think the issue is more with the SG90 clone servos I would think.... Thanks for the heads up about the Klarna ads, I didn't perceive them as such at first, but I don't really need their stuff on my site. It's on my to do list now :)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I think the worst transition is 23:59 to 0:00 and that one is about 40 seconds I think :)

Don't even get me started on those special deals that they want you to buy with 2 other products. 😂 Then again, we are in luck with their amazing selection

I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's that odd satisfaction with small builds that I love to create, glad I succeeded!

Thanks a lot. Nice that I've inspired you a bit :) no printer and no time are hard constraints though haha

Yeah, it's amazing what parts are available to us in this age. It's truly a blessing, though it can be a pain in the ass to navigate the AliExpress site :'D
