Thank you for your support. This project was printed with PLA, TPU, and ABS, and I'm really impressed with the way white turns out.

There's now also a double-wide version for those with smaller print beds - [ESP8266 Double Wide Marquee Scroller News Weather Clock](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2989552) Please share your creations! I've been asked to share step files, but I'm sorry, there are none. This design was created using Tinkercad, so all we have is the STL file shared in the download. Enjoy!
