Awesome job! Hope you had fun building it. Keep building!
This needs changes before we can consider it shipped. Review the Shipwright feedback, make updates, then ship again.

Cool build! Sorry but I have to send this back, for your demo link the youtube video is private, just fix that and resubmit!

OMG!! finally almost ready multiple code attempts sanding fitting will need to buy shorter bolts for top and adjust the 3d model for the right fit but yes almost ready soon !!!!
Another Day another fail cant really seem to make the display work i used an external wire to check with esp pins the screen backlight is litting on some different pins but not on its backlight pin like maybe i’ll get a solution. EDIT: OMG!!!!! im so happy the screen is working i was doing after session repairs as usual fixed the code and its working took so long
Soldered all the components onto the pcb also made a custom solder third hand at home although i uploaded code multiple times different versions took almost 4 hours didnt want to record it the screen still doesnt show anything im suspecting its a backlight issue when i put flashlight on it some words are visible will try to find a way around it i hope its not faulty
Fixed some errors listed in funding return fixed pcb design for led slot and design for supports of pcb.
Nice job! Thanks for the quick changes. Approving this, but one small tip to make your repo cleaner: move the folders up into the root folder so you don't have to click into the "BLARE CLOCK" folder to see everything. Have fun building it!
Hey! Nice job on this, I just noticed a few things for you to fix before I can approve this. You're case design is pretty cool, but I don't think it will work as designed, your display slot is too small and doesn't have anywhere for the wires/pins to go, and the hole for your usb port should be bigger to fit the cable. Outside of functionality, you need to upload a .step file of your whole assembly, pcb and display included, so other can understand how everything fits together. You also need to rewrite your README, currently it has no images and doesn't really give a good description. I also want to remind you that you can't use AI for anything in your README. Read this for how to write a good readme https://blare.hackclub.com/docs/submitting-your-project. Thanks!
Fixing github repo wrong pcb file uploaded Ik it is similar to guide but this is my first project i am learning and i think i did pretty good next project hackpad will be better fs
What a day!! Just finished the project learned a lot of new things took so long to 3d model the body and the write the code but finally done forgot to record 90 minutes of 3d modeling but we learn from our mistakes and just continued done all the prep and designing in 2 days very proud of myself changed the pcb design to my own and made a pretty cool body for the clock excited to get funded. Even though the screen is not centered it took alot of time.
Finally done with the pcb had some problems loading 3d models and libraries first time and i think i did it right
