We have constructed and characterised an instrument to study gravitationally bouncing droplets of fluid, subjected to periodic driving force. Our system incorporates a droplet printer that enables an on-demand computer controlled deposition of droplets on the fluid surface. We demonstrate the operation of this instrument by creating and observing long-lived and interacting time crystals whose evolution we have witnessed for more than one hundred thousand oscillation periods. Our observations provide points of comparison for experiments that differentiate between quantum and classical time crystal behaviours in driven non-equilibrium systems.
