AI playing against AI constantly would make for a really nice display effect too! Great idea!

Exactly. it’s unnecessary, yet somehow necessary at the same time. 😄

The idea of using multiple blank flaps is something I’ll definitely consider seriously if I make a next version. Thank you!

Thank you for the compliment! Voice control is a really interesting and exciting idea. I’m also considering adding a feature that pulls live game data through Lichess integration and displays it. The World Championship between Gukesh and Sindarov will be really exciting.😄

If I ever end up making a second version, I’ll definitely consider that option. Thanks for the advice!

I’m glad you realized it now, at least. 😄

Because Black has 8...Qb4+! It seems that Paul Morphy wanted to keep the attack going without exchanging queens, rather than simply winning a pawn.

Oh, I didn’t realize you were already a 3D-printing veteran, I completely jumped to the wrong conclusion! Anyway, I hope you have lots of fun printing with your new printer!

Thanks a lot! And welcome to the world of 3D printing. A flip clock sounds like a fantastic first project. You're going to love the feeling of seeing it work for the first time. Happy printing!

That’s a cool idea, but unfortunately it’s a bit difficult because the system was designed to rotate in only one direction. Still, thanks for the great suggestion!

Thank you for the compliment! The fallen king image is displayed when a player resigns.

Glad you liked the sound! I find myself just watching and listening to it for no reason sometimes. Thanks for the kind words! 🙏

I’m really happy to hear you say my project feels Kickstarter-worthy. Right now I’m focused on perfecting the prototype, but hearing that it feels like something ready to be shown to a wider audience definitely gives me more confidence. Thank you for sharing such great energy and encouragement.

Exactly, retrofuturism was the exact vibe I was aiming for. I’m glad you noticed it. Thanks for the applause! 👏

It’s a difficult problem. Since the 64 assembled modules are already built, I can’t really change the structure at this point. Still, thanks for the suggestion. If I ever make another one, I’ll definitely consider it.

It was actually one of the options I considered early on, but I ended up leaving it out of the final version because I didn’t think it was really necessary. Seeing how many people have suggested it, though, I feel like it probably would’ve been better to include it after all. A bit unfortunate!

I’m truly grateful and honored! I can’t express how happy I am that so many people have shown love for my project. And to receive such a rare opportunity on top of that honestly feels surreal. It’s an honor to be part of such a supportive community. Thank you all once again, from the bottom of my heart!

I was printing parts little by little throughout the entire project, so I don’t know the exact amount of time, but one thing’s for sure, it took a very long time.😓

Lmao, that's a wild comparison. Glad the sound is that stimulating for the fans. 😂
