I'm always excited to see a new post from this site in my RSS reader. Something about this new clock revision really elevates the look of the whole thing from "finely-crafted hobbyist project" to "wouldn't look out of place on a store shelf."

I'm delighted to hear the RSS feed is still in use.

Yes, I'm really pleased with the look of the acrylic clock, I'm looking at my other precision clocks with disdain now. Also had a thought about the maximum brightness, perhaps the acrylic could be quick-release somehow, which would let you remove it if you need to boost the brightness for high speed stuff.

I was surprised that the smoked acrylic makes so much difference to the look of the clock, is is obvious from the pictures. It certainly makes it far more like a finished product.

The hinge on the Mk IV makes rather a lot work to add this. However, it should much easier to add smoked acrylic to the Mk III, which has a completely flat front. Once the acrylic is cut to size it should be possible to us glue dots to hold it in place.
