Remixed this from AWSW great model https://www.printables.com/de/model/450556-wordclock-16x16-led-matrix-2023-v3 - here you can also get his neat Arduino Software to operate.


I only remixed DE+EN Fronts so far, other languages would take litte work if someone needs it but had no use for myself.

 

I love his clock in general, but I did not like those Sharp Edges in the corners, feels not good to print without warping on such a large print.
This model is printable with default Bambu settings - so much faster than original. 
Another BIG advantage is that clock can be read from sides in a much larger angle.

 

M3f Frames are already painted for 2 Colour AMS, you want to use white for first 2 Layers (front/letters) and a real dark colour for the rest that Leds do not shine through.

to Print:

each 1x Back, Fixer and Frame in your language.

 

Using a textured PEI gives a real nice front, but plain plates should also word great
PLA is fine, not tested if PETG does good Job with all the letters but should also work.


Needs following Accessories to assemble:
1)
Securing the Back Plate
4* Brazz Inserts M3xOD5xL3 (like used in P1P ARC Case)
4* 6mmxM3 screws
or use
slim dual sided tape / posterstrip / hot glue - only when the clock is standing

 

2)
Internals
1x BTF Lightning 16x16 LED matrix (for example WS2812BECO on Amazon)
1x AZDelivery ESP32 D1 Mini NodeMCU

 

3)
Power
1x USB power supply 5V / should be >=2A if you go >3A would give some error margin
1x Micro USB cable

 

Hardware Assembly:

  • melt the brazz inserts into the frame
  • flash software to D1 before soldeing as function test
  • cut not needed "out" cable on the RGB matrix (if ou wan it clean unsolder the +/- cables too)
  • solder this cable to D1 mini (pic attached)
  • press fit D1 Mini on Back, to be sure it holds attach some hotglue 
  • Connect with matrix using the cables
  • put matrix in Place (see picture for orientation) and secure it the RGB-fixer
  • Close back and softly fasten with 4 screws
  • Power On and bind your Wifi

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Only reused Front/font, complete rest own design.

 

Way easier to print, solid 2 first layers - only one colour change

Clock can be read from side angles - original only was good to read when looking straight to it

Rounded edges → less risk of warping

Letters stick to first layers and can be printed in normal speed on my bambu P1S instead of going ultra slow

Back with screws so can easily opened again

At all also less filament needed
