Laser cut 'lixie' four digit display / clock. I saw one of these and wanted to have a go at making one.
Display pieces are made from 3mm acrylic, engraved to approximately 75% depth for the numerals. Body is stacked 3mm ply board, held together with M3 bolts.
The 3mm ply I buy varies in width from 3.1 to 3.4mm so the peg lengths on the display pieces are sized to match the stock I used (you may need to change these sizes if you make it).
The led strip is standard 144 LED/meter WS2812B stuff, and can be driven by pretty much any micro controller. I built on multiple levels to decrease the width and to allow me to use straight lengths of LEDs (reducing the soldering).
1 CAD file contains the acrylic pieces and the other CAD file contains the ply parts.
Made using my modified K40 laser cutter.
