Back to the Future Time Circuits

Here we have our Back to the Future time circuits! This prop was modeled after the actual time circuits seen in the movies. It was modeled and adjusted to be as realistic as possible. The unit not only looks good, but is fully functional with both audio and lighting effects that emulate exactly what happens in the movie. Users are able to enter their destination time and upon hitting the enter button, the unit will reflect that updated time. This is as interactive as it gets! Now go and visit 1955!

  • Printed on: Creality CR10 Pro version 2

  • Print time: ~3 weeks

  • Print medium: PLA

  • Post processing time (sanding, painting, etc…): ~1 month

    Including electronics:

    • custom purchased digital LED displays (since typical displays won’t display letters)

    • Arduino uno R3 as the core processor

    • various switches and buttons

    • Real time clock module for arduino

    • WIFI module for arduino (to pull down the actual time)
