The world of tabletop 3D printing has undergone a quiet revolution. What was once the exclusive domain of engineering labs and deep-pocketed hobbyists is now an accessible reality for almost anyone ...

Retrograde clocks are unique, in that they eschew the normal fully-circular movement for the hands. Instead, the hands merely sweep out a segment of a circular arc, before jumping back to their start ...

Thanks to wearables like the Apple Watch, there’s no doubt that our timepieces are getting smarter and more high-tech. However, if you really want an attention-grabbing way to tell the time (albeit a ...

Projects can often spiral, not down or up, but out. For [Derek] he started playing around with a 3D printed escapement mechanism and thought it was a wonderful bit of engineering. But with a simple ...

Have you ever looked at a clock and thought, “This could be so much more than just a way to tell time”? Imagine a timepiece that doubles as a modern art installation, a glowing hexagonal masterpiece ...

Before LCDs and LEDs became cheap enough to add to nearly any device, mechanical flap displays were used in large-scale signage and bedside alarm clocks for improved legibility. Shinsaku Hiura has ...

I build robots that move, blink, and sometimes even creep you out. From animatronics to 3D printing experiments, I fuse mechanics, electronics, and creativity to bring ideas to life. Follow to see ...
