This attractive clock appears to be constructed out of a block of wood with LED digits floating underneath. In reality, it is a block of PLA plastic covered with wood veneer (well, [androkavo] phone calls it veneer, however we believe it may just be a get in touch with paper or vinyl with a wood pattern). It makes for a striking effect, as well as we can believe of other jobs that may make utilize of the technique, particularly considering that the wood surface looks much a lot more completed than the normal 3D-printed part.
You can see a video of the clock in operation below. The clock circuit itself is nothing exceptional. just a MAX7218 LED motorist as well as a screen together with an STM32 ARM processor. The clock has a DHT22 temperature as well as humidity sensor, in addition to a speaker for an alarm.
Setting the clock is a breeze considering that it uses a WiFi interface, thanks to an ESP8266, of course. There’s likewise a vibration sensor to cut off the alarm. You might modification the software application to fit if you wished to manage things differently. For example, we may make the vibration sensor snooze, as well as need the individual to gain access to the web page to turn the alarm off just to make sure we were truly awake.
Contact paper is offered in great deals of finishes, so this method might turn a 3D-printed box into a box with a solid color, a marble pattern, or even simulated carbon fiber.
We couldn’t assist however believe about putting a few of the unusual LED clocks we’ve seen in this type of enclosure. perhaps even one with words.
