Clock Housing

thingiverse

This is a housing for the clock kit I purchased from BangGood. The kit can be found at: http://www.banggood.com/DIY-DS1302-Rotation-LED-Electronic-Clock-Kit-51-SCM-Learning-Board-p-956298.html However, they now sell a modified version of the kit. But I decided to design a box for it instead, as it sounded like a fun project. The finished product turned out really nice. Unfortunately, one feature that I was disappointed with is that it only displays time in 24-hour format. I found instructions for the build on this page: It came with metric spacers but since I don't have any metric hardware, I ended up using #4 spacers, which are 5/8" long. The housing length was designed around this specific spacer type. Additionally, when assembling the board, I accidentally mounted the switches on the front, instead of placing them in a more discreet location. But since it looked just as good either way, I decided to leave them there and added some buttons to accommodate their placement. I sourced 2.5mm acrylic sheets from McMaster-Carr for this project. All of my design files are saved in Inventor format. If you need step files, please let me know and I can send those your way.
