I always fancied owning an official Qlocktwo, however found them to be rather expensive. On the other hand I was fascinated by the idea to realize one as my own project. When I then came to know about a makerspace near me with the capabilities of laser cutting and 3D-printing, I set out to realize my idea.

My aim throughout this project was to design it in such a way, that any hobbyist with a basic skill set and the will to learn new things could realize this project. The body work is laser cut or 3D-printed, the electronics are off the shelf components and the source code is build in the Arduino environment.
