3D Printed Personalised Word Clock

thingiverse

​Build your own 3D printed Personalised Word Clock. After experimenting with a few word clocks over the years and found they are something people really enjoy having however are complex to build. The three biggest challenges with Word Clocks are - Soldering over 150 LEDs - Building a good looking case - The complexity of getting the front panel letters and the lighting just right Which is why this project is focused on simplifying construction by providing a preassembled PCB, 3D printed Case, front screen, and baffles. This design incorporates ESP32 powered color LEDs that can be programmed for various foreground and background colors, personalized name, time of day and year messages (including "Happy Birthday"), alarm sound, and an ambient room light sensor-controlled brightness to ensure it doesn't keep you awake at night. The unit is powered by a standard USB charger.
