Brilliant idea and product! The use of the cam is reminiscant of the old mechanical automatons! Much simpler than using 24 micro linear actuators and simpler sequencing! The cutouts are very precise, almost like EDM! Well done!

Using a cam is freaking genius! Kudos to the engineer behind this project!

This thing is so elegantly designed. I like the all white look, because the numbers seem to magically morph. If higher visibility is desired, adjusting the angle/type of illumination is best. I want one!

Maybe the segment could light up when pushed out. With a color. Numbers stand out but segments still blend in when not in use. Readable at night too.

Very well executed build. Looks very professional.

Thanks so much for disassembling it. I wouldn't have had had a clue how this thing works 😎

This is an incredible build. As soon as I saw the single stepper per digit, I knew there had to be some mechanical wizardry in the box. I think that's the first time I've seen a 3D printed cam!

This is awesome. Great job building and demonstrating.

Great project and very elegant implementation! I am also impressed by the presicion of your 3D printing.

Love this, and would totally buy one!

Can I download the parts for 3D printing? The design is brilliant!

awesome!!! you could print the outside of the digits in black (maybe the first layers just white) so it look the same when inside but when outside it would habe more contrast.. love what you did! great job!

Love the Cam that advances or decreases the numbers

Your clock looks so clean :) Using magnets to pull back the segments is a really neat idea. Stating the obvious, it’s not very legible but I don’t think that was what you were going for. That’s fine, there’s a trade off people are willing to make between looks and practicality which even changes depending on their situation. This is neumorphism in real life and I like how it looks. Mechanical noises aside (which can be reduced), this is a more subtle way to tell time - like the Sun moving across the sky - that still has the precision of a digital clock.

If you put a spotlight on it (at an angle) I guess the shadows will make it legible enough.

Just paint the walls of each segment, they'll stand out from the surface surprisingly well as each wall is exposed, only visually confusing in very specific lighting conditions.

@SireSquish

Perhaps using one of those variably refringent paints - like chameleon paint for cars. The different angle of incidence would make the protruding segments more distinct. OR, alternatively, have a backlight and opaque paint on the segments and face - then the light shines through the exposed walls.

@marveloussoftware4914

I would mount a laser with the beam spread out so when the segments get pushed out they will light up

problem is that it has many moving parts and makes a sound every minute. This is not something I would want in a bedroom or any place where I can hear it

This is BEAUTIFUL

Очень крутая штука получилась.

In the first minute or so I was 99% convinced this was an AI video

If the numbers lit up when they pushed forward that would look so awesome.

I could imagine an 18th century digit clock with a seven-segment display using a spring and pendulum to drive the cam in the first SSD with the cam in each unit driving the next unit. An all-mechnical version might even have been possible in ancient Rome, except that they didn't have the Arabic numerals or the concept of zero.

No question it could be done, and cam-driven digital displays are older than you might think - they go back to the early 1900s. Flip-card clocks could be entirely mechanical (and they were in the beginning, search on "plato clock"), but the ones you see are motor driven at least. I really like how compact the mechanism is in this clock.

Don't be so negative. It's about the challenge to get this done. Not many are able to do this.

I hope there is a led in there cause it going to be hard to tell time at night. Looks super cool

That’s so cool! Proposed legibility improvement: If each segment were a series of thin panels attached to a back plate in the shape of the segment, the edges of the panels could still match the color of the front of the display and sit flush when retracted, but the sides could be blackened, absorbing light and creating more contrast when extended.

Brilliant solution! I’ve had this same idea for a long time now, but couldn’t figure out how to do it without using a bunch of linear actuators.

Großartige Idee. Klasse gemacht!

Utterly brilliant! 👍🏼

Great project. You could make a video on just the cam and explaining how it works.

Beautiful design ~ well done 👍🏻

Very neat. I'd like to see one where a cam operated each segment. That would be simpler electronically. You would only need a synchronous motor to drive a shaft at one speed.

Wow! What a nice idea!

The little imbedded magnets are a stroke of genius…. I mean a lot of this is so damn clever, but those magnets elegantly solve a pet peeve of mine : loose or rattling fit. Satisfying 🤩 I doubt the economy of scale is in my favour here but if you were to sell them, how much-ish would they need to be priced for you to be fairly compensated?
