I've tried it in-game. It works excellent. So here is the score:

Uniqueness: 7/10
Ambition: 7/10
Execution: 9/10
Scale: 7/10

Total: 30.

I'd like to go over why I've given it the score I have. Uniqueness, we've had many calculators built on the server. Some that could do other operations than just addition though none quite as nice as this with the digital readout. So you lost some points due to making a calculator but you gained some for making it better than the other calculators due to the display.

Ambition: As above, we've had calculators before that did multiplication, subtraction and division along with addition. so I think you could be more ambitious here by adding other operators, not that it takes away from what you've got as it's still very impressive but of course it could be more feature complete.

Execution: I've given it a 9 out of 10 because it works great, it's easy to use. I feel it is well made. If it had the other three operators to make it a perfectly usable calculator for 99% of tasks I would give it 10/10 here.

Scale: It's not giant but it's not small either, I feel 7/10 is an accurate sizing for the calculator as it is now. I'm sure you can increase the score by adding more operators later on and then get Epic Crafter for this.

Congratulations :)

Woohoo!!! Thank you for the honest and constructive ratings! I'm so happy right now :P this has been a dream of mine for so long. I'll definitely work on what you said :) Also I didn't know it was possible to get EC with redstone, was that a mistake?

Not really, you can get any rank including LC with redstone to my knowledge, it just has to be quite an impressive construct in addition to looking aesthetically pleasing from the outside. Like a good user interface that is attractive, in addition to a case, a neat redstone wiring could help to (organized and color coded possibly) but not sure how big a factor this plays.
Basically make it look pretty on the outside while keeping functionality and capability.
