Cronixie - The eye-catching edge-lit clock kit that inspired the LIXIE

LINKS, FAQ and more can be found in the Video Description Text Box

Only one big downside: when it's turned off in broad daylight it looks pretty cheap :(

the one in the james bond movie is a KGM Edgelit Displays.

Now make the panels 5x thinner

Before the circuit was constructed and the blue film was still on, did anyone else see Thomas the tank engines face in it 🤣🤣

I’ve seen an edge lit display on a Vintage Elevator that was used as a floor indicator.

Looks like a rainbow Nixie tube clock haha

Having owned one of these for 3 years now I come back to this video every six months to read the functions in the description to change the clock time by an hour!

How does the Gixie clock differ from this kit in terms of the brightness and clarity of the display?

Broooo! 6 ads before video playback 😭

I know this is an old video, but I bought one of these Croixie clocks not long after this video was out. I sat in my garage until about a month ago, input it together and made it useful. My question is it runs Very fast. It will gain two to two and a half minutes a day. This situation making the ten Second adjustment useless. Do you have any suggestions of how to make the clock more accurate? Thank you in advance.

10⭐👍👍👍foarte bine gindit ,realizat,de unde se poate cumpara Kit-ul,citi$ costa👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Would rounded edges help the light stay inside to be reflected off the number in the middle? or i guess one could coat the edges in mirroring

Pretty neat, but this really isn't my style...👌🏼 I'll pass on these...👍🏼

Never mind, I found it 😊

I'm from USA and I went into ebay, I couldn't find it there.

cleaning this thing would be a nightmare

@Techmoan The link to Conor Nishijima's Lixie is no longer working. Is there an alternative?

Gooooooooldfinger

arent clocks supposed to tell the time?

Just a tip for anyone wanting to build this. To get zero smudges on the plexi panels, buy yourself some cotton gloves - they’re usually branded as jewellery inspection gloves. You can handle the plexi all you like without leaving any residue and don’t have to be overly cautious.

Danke aus deutschland :-)

2 tips.

I found a acrylic case with a nice oak base on eBay. It's meant for model trains and fits perfect. I extended the 4 screws on the bottom corners of the clock, and drilled corresponding holes in the base to keep the clock from sliding around in the case. I also cut a slot in the back edge of the acrylic cover for the cord. Much easier to keep clean, and looks great. The case was about $50, but is very nice.

My clock kept very poor time, and the clock sped up and slowed down when the room temperature changed. I ordered a new version #2 of the controller from Germany (to US). The new controller has a "high precision watch chip" and keeps very good time. The new controller also had newer software, which has a couple new features like a 12 hour setting. The version 2 controller was about $60.

These 2 tips solved all the issues I had with the clock.

can anyone tell me what the sony device is on the outtro right after the first gadget? it looks like a tape system however it also looks like a hard drive system?

Cool but looks like a dust magnet. Would be a pain to clean every one of those pieces of acrylic.

Too much screws - in the middle one screw should be enough to hold two boards...

I got mine yesterday and it is working beautifully!!!!

Got a medium one for Xmas using your affiliated link. Very pleased you introduced us to this, looks great!

Хорошая игрушка )

Just ordered one, can't wait!

They would be even brighter if they were painted silver all along the edges except where the LEDs shine up into them, which would cause light that is otherwise just shining out of the edges to reflect back toward the digits cut into them.

Huge fan of party mode

Got this, it's cool but the brightness is pretty uneven between digits.

Did you update the firmware yet? It can do more colour modes than you've shown in this video, including a nice rolling rainbow effect similar to that on your new Gixie clock.

This is not a clock. This is ART!

I don't like the seconds going reverse after every minute. This turns a rather nice looking clock into a fucking stroboscope...

Everyone else:


Party Mode: The numbers, Mason, what do they mean?

New! Pixie's Clock is Year 2024!

Cool !

Can you change the date to m/d/y ?

brb imma make a sandwich

No way to make it 12 hour only? That's a bit unfortunate.

i like the melodie it makes, its famous in germany but i think world wide. Its the french song for children " Frere Jaques".

... yes.
- a dust-'proof'/resistant glass/frame or acrylic case is a must for the device! Dulling dust effects would be so-oo-oo pedestrian a treatment to such a design's intended function...plus, cleaning would be a real PITA!

Стильненько.
