Day Clock

prusaprinters

<p>For those long quarantine weeks where the days blend together. This clock uses a servo so the clock hand always points at the center of the day, it does not "sweep" through the day smoothly like a normal clock would; at midnight, the hand moves to the next day. Thanks to the gearing, this works with a normal 180 degree servo. Code is included, just update to your WiFi information!</p> <h3>You need:</h3> <ul> <li>A Wemos D1 Mini</li> <li>A full size servo</li> </ul> <p>The Wemos connects to your WiFi and automatically sets the correct day, there's nothing to set or keep track of!</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Hatchbox PLA Variety</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Print the clock hand at 100% infill, everything else can be at 20%. I used a brim for the clock face to prevent warping and changed the filament between layer 15/16.</p> Edit: Added separate files for the clock face, rings, and letters so it can be printed on an SLA printer and glued together. <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <ul> <li>Trim brim from clock face, including from notch at bottom</li> <li>Push the servo into the slot until it hits the bottom</li> <li>Screw servo gear onto servo horn</li> <li>Attach servo horn to servo</li> <li>Place box on top of servo and coil cable inside, connect to Wemos D1</li> <li>Put clock hand through clock face into clock gear, align to Saturday</li> <li>Place clock in base; I used a dab of glue to prevent it from moving at all</li> <li>Run Day_Verification to calibrate middle of day values</li> <li>Update values in Clock.ino and upload</li> </ul> </div></p></p></p> Category: Household
