In Episode 600 becon_dave on the community site commented that along with the cuckoo clock, a miniature 3D diorama scene could be added (like a traditional cuckoo clock), and suggested that a edge-lit multi-layered laser engraved scene could be used.
So, in this episode of Element14 Presents, Katie introduces us to her latest project: creating an acrylic edge-lit clock.
The inspiration stemmed from discussions in the community about edge-lit dioramas, sparking Katie's interest in utilizing a laser cutter for this endeavor. Beginning with a simple etched acrylic design, she outlines her vision for illuminating each number on the clock face.
Katie experiments with edge-lit laser engraved acrylic by making a clock with a Raspberry Pi Pico, but ensure that it could be a platform that can be changed in the future, so maybe one day we’ll see a scene!
