Rules[edit]
We're making a new kitchen clock that should showcase a wide variety of manufacturing techniques that we have available at rLab.
The idea is that each numeral on the clock will be made by a different person using a different method. If you're up for making one of the numerals then please have a go!
- Numerals can be Arabic, Roman, or English words
- Any font or style is OK
- Numerals should be very roughly 75mm high and ideally should stand no more than 25mm proud of the wall.
- Numerals should be placed about 300mm from the edge of the clock bezel and fixed to the wall using removable sticky pads
- Numerals should be made at rLab, using equipment we have
- If your part requires power to operate it must be solar or long-life battery, no wires to external power sources
- If you have a good idea, the existing numerals can and should be replaced from time to time
- Hands and clock body can be replaced too
- Update this page to reflect any changes you make
