<p>Larger than it needs to be but I felt it needed to look more like a retro alarm clock. It has a lot of room for activities and a lot of airflow should you want to put sensors or a raspberry pi in there.&nbsp;</p><p>Only spot the plastic selection is critical is the tray. That said I think all but the most opaque plastics will work. I used Prusament Galaxy Black PLA.</p><p>Assembly is pretty straight forward but does require some glue.&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Print Base and Tray face down.</li><li>Print the cover <strong>rear </strong>face down.&nbsp;</li><li>Press the LED matrix into the tray and tack down with glue. Avoid Super/CA or any extremely thin “wicking” glue that could seep between the display and the plastic. I used hotglue. A dab will do ya.</li><li>Install software as recommended in the github repo.</li><li>Slide the tray into the base&nbsp;</li><li>Slide the cover in last, locking it in with the tabs on the rear.</li></ul><p>Software: <a href="https://github.com/Qrome/marquee-scroller">https://github.com/Qrome/marquee-scroller</a><br>Original clock: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/25374-esp8266-wemos-clock-news-weather-scrolling-marquee">https://www.printables.com/model/25374-esp8266-wemos-clock-news-weather-scrolling-marquee</a></p><p><i>Shout out to Spike for naming this version</i></p>
