Thank you, the making of presentation coming soon!

Yeah, when there is no number it turns to big blobs of liquid that actually touch walls of the screen on both sides, so i guess its bigger than 10mm in that case

Yeah it was the biggest challenge, how to gently move liquid and not "expose" the mechanism behind it so it looks that liquid is moving on its own. I have a lot more videos, feel free to send me an email [email protected] i will share. My plan is to publish the making of presentation by the end of this week

It was mostly for newspaper websites so they can get photos when they are publishing stories. Thanks!

Yeah, so far no makerspace here in Serbia, however we have a lot of small local businesses and craftmans that you can pay to get something done.

Yeah making just any prototype should have been much easier, i really tried to make something that looks beautiful even when its not animated.

KS, maybe one day :)

It could get away with none, however i wanted it to constantly move even while numbers are changed - otherwise i asked myself why build it out of liquid if its not moving.

On the other hand, you are right, it only draws power when it moves and it moves every other segment every few seconds which is enough to constantly animate the numbers, because the fluid needs time to readjust.

The motors are actually stepper motors, which made it all harder, because its not as easy to move them as it is to move servos, and steppers have no idea where they are which required an initial calibration sequence. The good news is that steppers are not loosing any steps, i guess the mechanics work very well.

umm.. that would be very expensive :))

yeah my bad, i forgot to put a capital R which helps a lot in this case :)
