Process

The goal was to have a simple design that is easy to read and shows off the lighting cleanly. The black center plate needed to be placed in front of the faceplate because LEDs need to be attached to the inner rim of the faceplate. To make sure the center plate is centered the cutout of the faceplate has the same hole cut out in the middle so I can align them together.

I added Japanese characters (they don't mean anything meaningful) to make it look a bit less boring. The clock face design was kept minimalist otherwise.

The feet of the clock was switched to be equal length on both sides in case the original design causes the clock to tip forward.
