I made a 7 segment display that uses 60 led pr meter Neopixel or WS2812 adressable led strip.
Each segment is one strip of led cut down to 4 leds, be aware of direction then sticking it to the backplate.
Several displays can be connected together by continuing the chain out of the left side of the display into the other.
I will continue to support this with arduino code for counting down and showing time as well as making minor adjustments to the model.
I will add features based on demand.
If you like it please share and contribute to the GitHub repo for software features.

Edit: Added a colon for separating hours, minutes or seconds.
Features in the works:
Rework of the cable path from one segment to another for easier assembly and maintenance.
Integrate a feature for attaching 3 pin JST connector for easier wiring.
Write a program for using the display as a scoreboard or clock.
