I used solidworks to do my design. Usually I use fusion 360, but making helical shapes in solidworks is significantly easier

I quite like what you've done with your joints. Your use of frosted glass is pretty smart, I didn't think of that as an option.

This function is not a part of the adafruit gfx library. It is a part of the pcm library. This library can be added through the library menu in the arduino interface

I'm not sure what you are asking?

It's for a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet of copy paper. I'm not sure if that's A4 or notGood luck and have fun making it

I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulties with this project. While it is a difficult project, it is doable. I'm not sure what your problem is necessarily. Would you be able to elaborate on your problem more?

While I've heard of Inkscape, as I've never used it and don't know how it works with scaling, I didn't want to recommend it. I felt safe recommending eDrawing because I use it quite frequently and know it works for what I used it for. Inkscape is probably a good option, as I have heard many good things about it.

I've uploaded the PDF file to the step with the DXF files. It is titled X-Wing Template. Let me know if there any any other problems with it. Also if you do sucessfully make it, please press the I made it button and share. I would love to see it

I can go ahead and convert the dxf to pdf files. I used solidworks edraw for viewing the files. Anything that can view dxf should work though. This was a difficult build, just to warn you in advance, but if you have some soldering experience its definetely a fun project.

Thank you for thinking so. It was a lot of fun to make

I love what you have done here. It looks like something straight out of Star Trek, but also feels like it would work great on any desk. I really like the font that you ended up changing it up to. I might update mine to work on an ESP8266 as well, since I was planning on building a second one as a gift.Overall amazingly good job done here. 10/10

I really like what you did with the design. The reason I put the linen paper in is because I was using a very bright lightbulb and wanted to difuse it. Since the bulb you are using looks to be much less harsh I would leave it as is. It looks very good.

Do you mean adding a third pair of digits to display seconds? Cause yeah, that should be possible. I was actually considering doing it originally but didnt out of laziness

I know this might be a dumb question to ask, but did you install the DS3231 library? It sounds like the library was not included

That is incredibly beautiful. I would love to see a picture of it in the daytime, so i can see the frame a little bit better.Also question, how did you get that pattern in the paper? Did you print it on there, paint it, or use some other method?

Here's a full picture of the table

Please post pictures and click I Made It if you end up making one. I would love to see it when it is done.

Thank you. That table was made by my grandpa as a present for my mother. He calls it a "junk" table, since it was made using his boxes and boxes of scrap wood cuttings.
