A potential feature idea is to have carryover output/input so you could chain them.
I was just about to suggest the same. Excellent design thus far!
Maybe the plunger could be split, so that it only activated the rachets if 'activated' from the side (ie lower digit carry).
Make it like the Burroughs mathematical machine ruclips.net/video/fe-9uTVMQlo/видео.htmlsi=IJKJGkil5CPoZzBd
The mechanical losses are already pretty big... Having to also actuate another one might end up being either REALLY stiff to press, or even break something... But idk! It would be cool to see regardless.
@@Internetzspacezshipz the lever could actuate all 7-segment assemblies simultaneously and the carry over mechanism could act like a clutch. the force will indeed be greater when going over several orders of magnitude.
That has to be the best project ive seen for a long time - bravo. Tempted to make a clock using steppers with it
Why use steppers when you can use a single motor and gears.
@@Kihidokidstepper motors can be controlled precisely so they always spin at an exact speed, the only control you have over the speed of normal DC motors is the voltage that you put into them (and even then, any amount of load will make them go out of time)
@@skmgeek You could use a DC motor on a cam and a limit switch, with an Arduino counting the time.
@@skmgeek just use a 4rpm motor, input 120v and a small transformer. If you use 4 stepper motors you have to write code. For a clock. You have to use a complicated piece of machinery that has a clock in it to build a clock.
@@soundspark why do you people want to use Arduino in everything. Stop it. You're building a clock using a clock.
Finally a handheld way to count to ten
I've been waiting so long
One handed though, so it improves upon the technology of the hand
One thing that's cool about this is that it could be built in any time period in history, if the correct shapes were known, and yet it feels so electronic and digitally driven. Most of our technology requires usage of a long list of previously created tech
Love this comment
I printed this for my numbers-obsessed kid, and he loves it - he was very excited to help me put it together! And thanks for adding the printed screws, saved me a trip to the hardware store.
Compliant springs in place of the bands and a way to link multiple together would be fantastic upgrades. Great project, thanks for sharing! :)
Mechanical engineering making a comeback of note.
I agree! Despite being an electrical engineer, my true passion is in mechanical engineering.
Great gift you have. Electrical engineering is a fantastic combination to widen what you can do in mechanical engineering. Particularly in your case. Be blessed.
Given how simplistic the mechanism is, this could very well be shrunken into a very slick mechanical watch. Would LOVE something like this on my wrist.
Wow yes that would be impressive. We have come full circle.
Iove it how 3d printers put design in the hands of so many.
This is a super impressive project considering that the only non-3d printed things needed are rubber bands and a couple screws. You could probably even design it to be held together without screws. Super impressive. Well done.
Detents printed into the body components, especially within the stand-off structure, to hold it together.
Printed springs for the push-action return and for each individual segment, a lot more fiddly and might require expanding the body.
Yeah, all of it could be printed in some way for sure.
Or 3D print the screws
What a beautiful design! Assembly so satisfying that I am going to print this, assemble it and then take it apart and give the parts as a present.
Your video serves as the assembly guide.
This is absolutely brilliant. The design must have taken ages!
I design, build and fly radio control airplanes as a hobby. As a designer, I appricate how much work you've put in your project. Job well done and 2 thumbs up !!
Pretty impressive! Purely mechanical projects are so satisfying.
Wow! I love this, thank you for making the files available for all of us. I immediately thought of using it to make a counter for our sports match, which is currently made out of paper and no one wants to go there and turn the number after a goal. With this tactile feedback, I wouldn't be afraid of it. xD
So I basically need to connect two double counters together!
I love this design a lot! A lot of these highly complex models are insanely difficult to assemble but this is poka yoke heaven! Product design mastermind.
Thank you very much!

5:38 - For your next update, you could print each stack as one part so you don't have to bother with gluing them together.
That mechanism is amazing. What a great job!
Thank you for sharing this and making the files available. Very well designed and explained. Great for helping my grandchildren to count!
Too bad the government schools can't teach them, all they want to do teach them about changing their genders.
i am happy I landed on the good side on RUclips. Subscribed. What you have given me is ...food for thought. I may or may not attempt this...but there are many things I learnt from this video. Thanks a bunch!
That's a remarkable piece of engineering!
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen! What a cool and accessible project for 3D printing.
Thank you a lot. This is going to be my 1st project of 3D print as this is so greatly designed and step-by-step guide.😊
Im printing 2 of the 2 segment versions for a competition im holding. THANK YOU!
The mechanism is incredibly, I definitely printing this model, you are a genius
I think the design of this product is very beautiful, this is how products should be made. Pragmatic and reparable
Awesome job. It is a just mechanical mesmerising mechanism to look at. I ❤ it. As a mechanical engineer who like to play with his 3D printer, I clearly now what my next print will be.
This is a very cool project! Thanks for sharing - I admire the dedication to making something like this and taking the time to explain the operation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really awesome concept, video, and delivery. I’m going to love printing this. Subscribed!
This explains so much about how this works. Great video, thanks!
Thanks for making this really cool design free. You are a real one for that.
You've earned yourself a new sub JUST based on this video! Can't wait to see what else you've done and will do!!
Pretty amazing! You areca master Sir... well done! Awesome design and very clear video. I love how it is all 3D printed.
Downloading as we speak
Fantastic work here!
Amazing design and great build video. Thank you for sharing with us.
thanks for making this free and not trying to nickle and dime people who are just trying to have fun building stuff for free not havibng to worry and have anxiety. i really do apreciate youf or not being irrationally greedy
WOW! Why did the RUclips Gods take so long to show me your channel!?!? I'm printing this and subscribing. Keep these free designs and great videos coming!!!
What a beautiful Design 🤩
You are an amazing person for giving this model out for free. I wish you 20 million subscribers and all the wealth in the world. Have a nice day!
The most wonderful thing i've seen... Thank u
Bless you for making this available.
Slick design, easy sub, look forward to everything you create
Count down and / or connecting multiple segments would take this over the top. Amazing work keep it up. +1 for subscriber count!
F' ING BRILLIANT !! How satisfying is that! Thank you, this is a fun project. Mine is half printed so far.
Incredibly ingenious
Thank you so much, for sharing such a wonderful make.
Such a nice video. Impressive design and a very good and full detailed explanation. Thank you!
I rarely subscribe to a channel. When I consider it, I usually watch a few videos by the person first. Not this time. Instant subscribe. Before I even finished watching the video. This is so cool!
I mostly print things I designed myself, but I'm planning to print this. Been wanting to keep track of how many containers of water I drink each day. This will be perfect!
Thank you for the kind words. Like you, I too mainly only print things I make/design myself.
Incredible engineering. Thank you for sharing.
Superbe ! Bravo ! Congratulations from Paris. 😊
This deserves a 👏 and a subscription... This is absolutely top notch and great audio quality which I appreciate. Thx
Thank you!
Great design and instructional video. Thank you!
wow dude taht's superb!
wishing u luck to a profound youtube channel
Fascinating! You have a very pleasant and calm voice, clear instructions and the project seems "doable", it really tickles me to power up my 3d printer right away! ☺ Thanx very much, you got a new subscriber!!!
Thank you for the kind words!
Nice design! Clever cam and gear arrangement. I'll test this at my grandson's hockey games and we'll see how it hold up.
I am not sure why anyone would want something like this, but it is very interesting.
Table tennis score 😊
Very nice design with a great end result!
*_Absolutely fabulous!_*
Very good design. Congrats!
This is so next level for me!
Very well done, I could have used these years ago for outdoor sports score keeping.
Beautifully done!
I can definitely tell you’re a This Old Tony fan, awesome project!
Thank you! I actually just had to search for that channel. I had not heard of him!
Excellent! Subscribed! Thanks for sharing!
Great Build! Subscribed. Looking forward to your future projects
Thank you. I'm excited to see where this goes.
Awesome mechanism! Bravo, subbed
finally someone made on of these thank you
Awesome work! I need this project evolved into a powered clock!
Definitely adding to my to do list. Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing! Subbed.
Thank you!
Great design and presentation!
Fantastic creation, very clever and smooth, thanks!
Thank you too!
This is absolutely beautiful - design/theory and execution. Awesome. A mod to allow for servo control (to make a clock) would be great.
Awesome project. For the inner parts not to be seen, you can use a constant white background as a zero, and hide the relevant segments when counting, using the same case's color.
I really like this! Great job
Wow! Great design! Bravo! Keep it up 😁
This is SO. Friggin. COOL!!
Nice project. You have a new subscriber. I'm looking forward to future projects.
This is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen printed. The level of thought and math behind it is nuts. People don't realize, you can use CAD to do a lot of heavy lifting, but not for the creativity side of actually conceiving how to go about this and knowing what cams to use. Amazing work.
A lot of people overuse the word "engineering" when talking about prints and inventions. This is NOT one of those instances.
Thank you!
I agree, CAD is a great tool to get ideas into drawing form. As for the creativity side of things, this project has been an absolute blast. The best part of projects like this is the continuing improvements and progress. Much more to come!
Really cool, my grandson will love them.
Wish my print worked like yours. :)
Thanks for sharing.
A very impressive design
Great design and great video explaining it!
If this is not genius, nothing is.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
If this 7 seg display is genius, this ruclips.net/video/Ug06dhahqg0/видео.html is out of this world. Some insane cad work from this guy
^^
Totally outstanding content. And this is a very impressive design. Thank you for all the effort you put into this video. It was well done.
Thank you very much!
I was thinking how it could be actuated electronically. Wheels turning. Awesome job!
Ain't gonna lie, this is pretty cool. Subscribed.
Amazing work!
Well done mate.
Brilliant design
Fantastic build and looks like a works an absolute treat! Have to say I am getting some serious This Old Tony vibes from your content production :D
Thank you! I had to search for This old Tony. I had not heard of that channel.
GReat project, thank you for sharing!
Beautiful project, congratulations, I'd love to have a 3D Printer to try it, really good stuff, it is wonderful what it is possible to do nowadays with one of those machines, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 3D design and printing has been a total blast!
What a great job!!!
The only thing I'd change is replace the 4 dome type screws with flat heads to make the whole stack back flat.
great design !!
A fantastic project and expertly presented. I will be making one of these for sure to track boxing rounds. The big button will be easy to press with gloves on. Many thanks. Subbed! Cheers 👍🇦🇺😎 🥊
wow, just appreciate all the work that went into it behind the scene. Only thing I would change is to remove the visible slot, although this might make the device slightly wider
Very nice project indeed!
I suggest moving the actuator to the right side (maybe with a detachable extension rod to the top to keep the existing functionality), and add a recessed "carry lever" on the right side so it can operate a digit at it's right and be stack-able.
Of course the amount of digits would be limited by the force needed to turn from 9999... to 0000...
Damn dude that's awesome! Thank you!
Brilliant design.
I have absolutely no idea what I’d use this for but I want one.
Poka Yoke: If you offset the key in the shaft out of the center, each with a different amount, you'll prevent wrong assembly of the cam wheels - 6:28
Very cool project.
