Illuminated clock

thingiverse

This timepiece relies on batteries to keep ticking, but its internal LED lights shine bright thanks to a transformer that plugs directly into the mains. To get started, head over to eBay and search for these essential components: A high-quality AA lithium battery will give your clock a long-lasting life. A quartz clock mechanism is necessary - look for one that's non-ticking for a smoother experience. Choose quartz clock hands that fit your style, taking care to select the right size based on the length of the minute hand - 55 mm should do the trick. In addition to these parts, you'll need some wire, a soldering iron, two small wood screws, and sticky tape to keep everything in place. A set of drills with diameters of 12 mm, 8 mm, and 3 mm will also come in handy.
