Project/KitchenClock

Rules

The new clock mounted on the wall

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
Once all numerals are complete, if there's still interest then some can be replaced with new ones
Hands and clock body can be replaced too, but only once all numerals are done
Update this page to reflect any changes you make
