“A digital clock using sliding grids to show or hide the segments of the digits.
Each minute the sliders move in a synchronized manner to show the current time.
The clock is powered by an Arduino Mega and it uses a DS3231 RTC to keep the time. Each digit has two sliding grids which are affected by small stepper motors.
I designed it with Autodesk Fusion 360 and 3D printed it on a Prusa MK3S.
