OddClock - "Made You Look"
Hello All,
Say hello to my "OddClock" which has been a labour of love for a while now.
The NIXIE tube indicate the minutes. The NIXIE caddy is positioned at the current hour and moves up the "clockface" when the hour changes
(Of course at 1am and 1pm, what gores up must comes down)
The clockface slowly lights up over one minute. On the hour you are welcomed with a colourful rainbow.
All 3D printed courtesy of the mighty i3 MK3 which has not skipped a beat for years.
I made custom PCB and power to control the stepper motor (24V), time keeping, (5V) LED (5V) and NIXIE (170V) control.
Electronics all hidden in the base. As you all know this is the ownderful thing about 3Dpr you just move things around until it fits!
Designed on Sketchup. The drag chain, was, well, a real drag, getting it right so the cables to the NIXIEs would move smoothly.
Anyway I hope you guys like it, or at the very least I "Made You Look".

Wonderful project, looks stunning!
But something seems to be wrong with your first layer calibration (too high) unless the look on the bottom two images is intentional...

Yes, you are right! I adjusted it for subsequent prints. Thank you.
