3DProSkillsCreations is an [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-sheath-dagger) creator and it has created the new Arcade Clock, which replicates the look of a cabinet arcade game. The clock stands at about 5 inches in height which makes it a great accessory for the desk. The pixelated numbers are a great touch to nod to the [8-bit era](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/16bit-display).

The graphics of the time were chunky and bold with a blocky form. The Arcade Clock brings forth a nostalgic feeling and brings users back to the time. The clock is also complete with details such as the joystick and buttons -- all of which are made at a miniature scale. This is also entirely 3D printed which means that every single part of done with precision.
