PixelClock

Everyone loves a good LED pixel array. In this case it is a dual function pixel clock or scrolling marquee sign!

Designed by Dom Dominici, this Pixel Clock packs 139 RGB LEDs to do your bidding. Dom developed a whole web interface packed with features that allow you to display time, temperature, and scrolling messages with tons of customization. Change your color schemes, fonts, and even schedule the brightness so your clock doesn't keep you up at night.

Printed parts: download from Printables

Alternate faces available on Dom's Printables page


note: you should print the test pieces before printing the front diffuser, so you can figure out the proper settings for your material. 
Total filament needed: Roughly 509 grams

There's a set of test models you can use to dial in the thickness of the front diffuser. If you're using plain white PLA or PETG, you probably won't need to do this but if you want to use a different material we suggest you do this. After you've found the thickness that works for you, you can select the XX part in the slicer, expand it in the right column, unlock the scale axis, and set the front diffuser to the z size you need.

This interesting little drawing pad uses electricity to erase the screen. You can toggle a lock on the back to prevent it from being erased, but be careful, this doesn't stop things from marking the screen!
