You need a LED stripe that is wound through all segments in an S pattern and then continuing to the next digit while the stripe being upright on its side. Selecting debug gives a better idea how things fit together.

Adding a diffuser on top or at the bottom of the segment holes will probably enhance the visuals. Just using paper may be enough.

There is currently not a lot of space for electronics and this generator is still untested. Good luck!
