    That is very impressive. I need access to a laser cutter!

    Despite any controversy, it's still very near and dear to my heart. There aren't many shows that I think about years later like LOST. Go finish it! Also, go make a flap display too!

    Thanks! Yep, It's designed to use an even multiple of the stepper resolution, but it's still quite finicky to calibrate.

    This is awesome image

    does just gravity prevent the numbers from flipping down?

    Thanks James! It's a bit hard to see, but the top of the flaps just barely overlaps with the cutout of the front panel  inside to catch them and hold them in place.
