I Built the Strangest Clock Ever (Arduino Based) (Laser Cut) - Creality Falcon2
Turns out there are more ways to tell time than you may have thought! This unique clock design tells time in a completely different way than any traditional clock. How can such a contraption actually work? Well, this video will take you through the design process, inner works, and assembly process. 90% of this clock was made from laser cut wood on Creality’s Falcon2 Laser Machine (link below). The other roughly 10% consists of 3D Printed pieces, an Arduino Nano, Nema 17 Stepper Motor, and some other small components (also linked below). I’m pretty happy with how this clock turned out! It’s kind of mesmerizing to watch!
