3D printing your own clock using LED's and an Arduino!
Although the show is no longer in production, you can enjoy episodes from the TWiT Archives.
We continue building a custom 3D printed clock.
Let's break down what we need to represent time:
- We're doing a 24-time display with LED's representing minutes, seconds and hours.
- We need 5 different "time divisions"
- Seconds
- Minutes
- Minutes X 10
- Hours
- Hours x 10
- For example: (Midnight // 12:31 // 10:42pm)
Parts:
- WS2812 5050 - 60 LED Ring ~$13
- 50pcs Geekcreit WS2812 LED ~$8
- Jumper Leads ~$3
- 30AWG Silicone Wire (Red/Black/White) ~$3
3D Printed parts:
- LED Ring Assembly
- Ring Frame
- LED x9 Holder (x2)
- LED x6 Holder
- LED x2 Holder
- LED x9 Back (x2)
- LED x6 Back
- LED x2 Back
Tools:
- Soldering Kit
- Wire Strippers/Snips
- Dremel Tool (or sandpaper)
