My prototype for a scalable 3D printed lightbox style 7-segment display that you can make as big as your print bed with no light pipes!

That’s ingenious!
What about having a 45° slant in each of the segments and shine the lead to that slant from the middle of the segment, it would make it thinner, but would that work? Humm, another thing to experiment
it has a really charming character to it. the "not quite perfect" effect is very visually pleasing
Right, I'm just off to design my own version of this for a synth tuner. That's brilliant.

Very clever!
Fran this looks beautiful. You could do it in layers with a color change. Sandwich a layer of black as a light blocker between white boxes and whatever you want the face plate color to be.
I love electronics,thaks Fran for the video
I watch your videos regularly but I had missed this one! What a great idea to use in a project of mine. Thank you, even if it took 3 years 😉
singing intro: instant subscribe
Brilliant 👏 and I for one love your intro
Nice one Fran the simplest idea are always the best..keep the good work up
Very nice design.
You singing the introduction… It's definitely why I'm here.
To amplify the visibility, you may make the lightboxes with inclined walls, covered with white matt paint. That way it will deflecr the light outward instead of multiple reflections inside and you will ommit one led.. But it is better with a lightbox with diffuser front and the leds iluminating directly from behind.
By the way, there is no dot on these …
Nice design ! Very smart !
this rocks!
You Should Patent This !
I would like to have my Ham Radio call made into a display like that. How much would the cost be? 👋🤠
