    Quoted from PtownPin:

    These are very cool....my question is how much end user work is required or is it plug and play? Im interested but I don't need another time consuming project

    Plug-and-play set color set time.

    Mine doesn't make any noise that i can hear. Spent some time working on it when i changed the clock last week. Mine is silent.

    Quoted from j_m_:

    2018.nov.28 update
    full disclosure. I'm an idiot
    when I put together the last batch over the summer, the LED panel vendor mentioned that they were changing the frame design (once again) and I had asked him to send me a blank frame so that I could compare it and make any necessary adjustments going forward.
    apparently, I didn't do that and had completely forgotten that they were different because when the LED panels arrived last week, I compared them to the empty frame and said "yep, they're identical"
    fast forward to last night where I decided to construct a single clock with extra rear panel of acrylic that I had since all my other prep work for this batch was complete) and that's when I found out that the lug pattern had changed again. and while it wasn't enough to notice at a casual glance, this 4mm change in the distance between the top and bottom lugs is enough that the screws no longer line up to fit through the holes on the rear panel
    to correct this, I've made the adjustments to my design and re-ordered 24 additional rear panels from ponoko late, last night. I have an initial ETA for this new order of next tuesday, december 11th.
    in summary:
    a failure on my end has resulted in a costly mistake and a slight delay in being able to assemble and ship the clocks to everyone on the list

    That sucks JM.
    So your saying that acrylic matches the last batch? If so, maybe see if any of that group needs a spare.

    Currently I'm Green for the Holidays!
    It was just on yellow for 5-6 months. I find yellow most pleasing on the eyes long term, and it shows the animations really well.
    Purple is fun and teal works. Red is dead and hurts the pupils.
