    This has been printed with PLA, TPU, and ABS. I really like the way the white turns out. I used White BAMtack PLA, Clear, and Glow with great results.

    View the README.md for details on working with the code.

    There is now also a double wide version for those with smaller print beds -- ESP8266 Double Wide Marquee Scroller News Weather Clock

    Please share your makes.

  • I have been asked a few times to share the step files --- sorry there are none. This design was created using Tinkercad so the only artifacts we have to work with are the STL files shared in the download. Enjoy.
