Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein on A Tiny Forest Of Resistors Makes For Quick And Dirty Adaptive Optics.

#MECHANICAL CLOCK 3D LITE MAC TV#
Noticing the flash had a sort of classic TV set feel to it, took the time to 3D print some detail pieces which really complete the look. But on this build we get the impression was more interested in playing with the aesthetics of the final piece than fiddling with the internals, which is hard to argue with when it looks this cool.

Or perhaps even switch over to the ESP8266 so the clock could update itself from the Internet. There’s a rotary encoder on the side to set the time, though it would have been nice to see an RTC module added into the mix for better accuracy. Utilizing two extremely common SSD1306 OLED displays in a 3D printed holder along with an Arduino to drive them, the electronics are quite simple. On the technical side of things, there’s really not much to this particular build. The OLED displays glowing behind the original flash diffuser create an awesome visual effect which really sells the whole look as if the display is some hitherto undiscovered nixie variant. His latest creation takes an old-school “Monopak” electronic flash module and turns it into a desk clock that somehow also manages to look like a vintage television set. His work is getting awfully close to becoming some kind of new art form, but we’re certainly not complaining. He retains the aspects of the original which give it that unmistakable vintage look, while very slickly integrating modern components and features. After covering a few of his builds at this point, we think it’s abundantly clear that has a keen eye for turning random pieces of antiquated hardware into something that’s equal parts functional and gorgeous.
