The AWK-105

The Voltmeter Clock uses dual analog meters to tell time - one for hours and and one for minutes. It's both stylish and functional!

How to Read the Clock

Think of the Clock as replacing digital LCD's with analog readouts. Instead of seeing 04:57, the hours meter will point to the 4 and the minutes meter will point to 57. Just like a clock rolls over at midnight and noon, the time meters rolls over zero.

The AwkEng Pahks the Cah (Revisited)

A Boston-area engineer revisits a DIY parking map project to solve the "where did I park?" problem. After a magnetic version failed due to habit friction, the Awkward Engineer built a 3D-printed neighborhood map with key hooks at common parking spots. Hanging keys on a hook marks the location, integrating with an existing routine. The post covers the design process, using CADMapper for map data, 3D printing, and heat-staking hooks. A practical home project combining 3D printing, urban living, and habit design.
