A small and portable clock to "nudge" you and not wake you up sharply (like iPhone ringtone) and help you get through the day. Also will have compatibility with devices for calender events

So, as I would pretty much expect now I think I am getting some trouble with the CAD, especially creating that hole to allow the TFT screen to fit flush with the case. I am still thinking about it. Other than that I was able to begin building it at least and have fixed some issues but I think I still have to work on them. (am I cooked? What are these colorful things on the extrusions?)

Devlog #2 - Building Lumos 💡
Ok, it so that didn’t really go to my plan. I thought I would be able to finish this quickly, but so far the CAD is really hard to do. It has taken me at least 2 hours to do just the extrusion (as well as exporting and importing), but I was able to export the STEP files and gerber files from my project. All I’m asking is:
How can you do the TFT screen extrusion?
I think its a big problem and once I get that out of the way, I should be able to move on to things like screws, case, plate, and more.
However, I think my PCB has come up great overall and I think that should be the finished PCB (for now).

So, I began building this alarm clock which is not just about helping you wake up, but to give you that nudge to get up and start the day. I began on the pcb and schema, and its pretty epic!!!
This project might not only be an alarm clock, but possibly include built-in technology that could connect do your laptop or phone and help provide you calender events, and even a screen with time (I know, I know). I don’t really want to make the alarm clock that much of a loud sound, just to make you wake up and feel great instead of a sharp iPhone alarm noise.
You may be wondering, what will I work on?
Well, here’s the answer to that:
Well that’s pretty much it. I already am familiar now with OnShape and KiCad since I did the Macropad project, so I should probably try to finish this project quicker to do more of my quirky ideas.
