I haven't even finished watching the video and I love it already! That's what I call a DIY project, elegant and neat, a good change from janky hot glue and and breadboard atrocities that come off as ready projects sometimes!
I've be researching ways to use my 3D printer, my arduino, and working with wood and cars. I am in semi-retirement right now and I am looking for something to add to my retirement fund. Thank you for helping me come up with some more ideas.
this is an amazing project and you explain it very well. just a suggestion, you should never leave the resistor or any other component terminals open as it has a risk to short(at 15:57). you can use a heat shrink or some hot glue to secure it.
I finished the video a few minutes ago and can't do more than stare the monitor and... WOW I've seen this one in RUclips's suggestions and thought like "Yeah, it's a nice idea, and not even too complicated." but never watched previously. Oh man... I love not just the idea and the complexity of the realization, but I adore how much detailed is the whole project. With every small details which came together at the end... You are a true genius.
This is really a great project! Hats off! Unfortunately it is not a 24 hour clock. Otherwise I would love to build it again. Friendly greetings from Germany
Really nice! A possible upgrade: Use a ws8266 instead of the nano for wifi capability, so you can use a time server for changing to daylight saving time. And have an app to play around with the colors....... Everyone needs blinking colors.
I've finally been able to start printing the parts for this project, very psyched to start building. One thing of note is that the amount of wood filament you need is quite substantial! According to Cura and my math it will come down to about 2.6kg of wood filament, so that's 3 spools of 1kg. Keep that in mind when you start prepping purchases.
I've watched this tutorial about 19 times so I have it fairly well memorized. Is it weird that I find Lewis quite calming so I keep the video running in the background lol

@@DIYMachinesPlease help me. I haven't slept for 36 hours. I'm about to lose my mind. I have a problem. Even though everything is OK, the LEDs are not working. I tested the LEDs using test codes from the Adaffruit library, they are connected correctly and light up in the correct order. Sensor data is also read. but the time is not visible. By the way, I do not use 12 lighting LEDs in my project. I'm just making the clock
Another super well made video. You are really underappreciated! My one suggestion: Change the orientation on the support prints so that the layers junctions aren't opposing gravity. It will make the "Shelves" significantly stronger.
Neat project! We want to build one now. Version 2 suggestion: make all of the segments LEDs. Use complementary colors, and one could then overlap digits for a full 24-hour clock. Example: One clock digit is red, one clock digit is green, but the segments overlapping will show red+green=yellow. Lots of visual effects to be had when the room lights first come on, too.
Outstanding project and video! Thank you so much for sharing EVERYTHING. I started this a while back and finally got around to finishing it this week. The result is excellent and that is due entirely to how thorough and approachable you've made it. For anyone else looking for them, the hanging mechanism used is called a "French Cleat"
I love this shelf edge clock, I'd love to build one - I hope one day you may revisit this and make it a complete 24 hour version, so 4 full digits and a center piece for the time colon eg 22:30 . Keep up the excellent work
Oh my GOD... that was the neatest, most satisfying and the most informative project that I have ever seen on RUclips... I wish I had known about your channel earlier...🌹🌹🌹
The way this guy explains stuff is amazing. I don't even know how to do ANY of these things but I have the tools for it and a 3D printer. Nothing is holding me back!
This is a very cool project, something to build for my new office. I will most likely be creating the shelves from thin plywood, the front from white plexiglass or PP sheet and use an ESP8266 connected to the internet to get the time but the idea is great. I read some comments with respect to a 24 hour clock but that does require an extra shelf unit making it too long for my liking.
Funny, I was looking for 24h comments, I immediately thought "Hmm, I'd like something longer and several rows, that can display messages, and have a useful amount of storage, to swallow useful amounts of books and/or fittong boxes.
Awesome work! I’d really recommend the WAGO connector instead of the terminal blocks as they are rated to extreme voltage and simply click in with a folded flap.
This is the first video I see from your channel. As someone new into DIY projects I have to admit your videos are brilliant. Very concise way of sharing tutorials but very informative at the same time. The content being shared and level of detail (incl files!) is incredible. Great job!
I think that is the true meaning of a TUTORIAL . Amazing job by explaining the whole process ..I think that even somebody that has no idea about electronics and programming would be able to make this after this AMAZING step by step guide. I am really impressed !!!
That was some sloppy soldering. I guess it technically works, but yeah... it's a rat's nest and it looks like Ron Jeremy made a visit. That being said, I do like this idea, so props there for sure.
It will take a LOT of time to print - he listed the print times @2:02 (for 3/31 brackets will be over 9h) @4:20 (for the led backing 3/23 will be just over an hour) @8:45 (for the 32 shelves that were roughly 7h each)... so the total print time will be around 327hrs
Question, and sorry if it's been asked already: Why did you connect the 5V rail to the 5V pin on the Arduino instead of VIN? VIN has a diode that only allows current to flow into the Arduino. The 5V pin does not. I've lost a few Arduino power delivery chips from Neopixels trying to get all of their current through the 5V pin when connected to USB. I would definitely recommend resoldering your power connector to the VIN on the Arduino
You Sir are a genius. I have not long had my printer, and am so so at electronics. But I think I will have this done my Xmas. I will be starting at the beginning of December.
I have no interest in a 3D printer, but if this was a kit to sell in the UK, I would happily purchase and make this myself! What a fantastic video. Well done Lewis.

Why has this channel not been recommended to me earlier? Thanks for sharing this wonderful project. subscribers = subscribers + 1 Having said this, I don't think powering so many LED's from your Arduino is healthy. That's asking for trouble.
As long as the power delivery isn't being handled by the Arduino it's relatively safe to control even several hundreds of LEDs, but as I noted in my comment, he should have soldered the 5V connector to VIN on the Arduino, so that the LEDs never try to take current from the Arduino
Thanks. I decided not to go with 24 hours to keep the overall length of the shelving shorter for where I was going to install it. There are enough LED's remaining on the roll to make it a 24hr clock as apposed to 12hr if you wanted to. You would just need a larger backboard and to print some more supports and sleeves. The code will also have to be slightly adapted.
Doesn't seem needed? You can construct it yourself out of other materials... it will be frustrating and repetitive, but doable, and allows different scales.
First I was like "wait... There is a digit missing", then I remembered that it was in an English format and the last digit is either a 1 either null. :D
I spent quite a bit..north of $350 usd but I also didn’t have a soldering iron or certain things so if you have all the necessary tools you can expect it to be less. Also depends on the wooden backboard you decide to use. I got a nice piece of maple and that was roughly 1/3rd of my cost as lumber prices arnt necessarily cheap right now.
It seems, there is a poor connection at 16:50 where the copper wire is half out. In my opinion those copper strands should be soldered first to make sure they are staying together for a firmer conductive flow and no change of coming into contact and short things. I mean, you're so clever in doing this nice project, yet you fail to make sure wires are connected properly.
Your word of warning is pretty wrong! If you power all those leds only from usb, you will most likely kill your arduino You wont damage anything by powering the arduino by the powersupply and the usb. So please do exactly the opposite and not plug in only the usb while having this many leds connected! Otherwise love the project
So, I am currently (ha) trying this, i think i may have killed 2 arduinos. I am trying to put the code on the arduino prior to connecting to the LEDs and main PSU.

Hey Luis! I did it!! after 1 month of work I eventually managed to complete this project!! Well, not quite... Still have some minor things to fine tune. It's amazing! I used a ESP32 instead and I re-wrote the code, using part of yours. The clock is now syncing down the time from a NTP source, saving it into the RTC as backup. Work in progress is the MQTT support to let it communicate with HomeAssistant to easily change the colours, switching on/off the downlights, etc... I'd like eventually to share my code. May I do it through your channels?
@@Kekswicher Hey! Not yet... I lacked time lately. I briefly worked on it again today 'cause I figured the clock didn't automatically adjusted to the summer time.
I too am making this project and would like to use the ESP32 and use with Home assistant but I am no coder. Have you made any progress with this at all? Thanks for any work you have done on this.
Wow: That is very cool. I don't know why you didn't use the Arduino as the RTC. It's very easy to do. No need for the added expense, space and power of an external module.
Beautifully finished project and elegant shelf/clock. This is one of the few DIY electronics projects that I'm tempted to actually create. Just need to get my hands on a 3D printer or a friend with one. Another thing to do that helps prevent the power cable from tugging off the components is to tie a simple knot in the cable while leaving a bit of slack, all inside the device. Ideally, the knot is larger than the hole so that the cable can't be pulled out. That along with the glue will give a very durable and nicely finished power cable attachment.
Great work on this clock-shelf. Is there a way to create onz with 24h numbers AND maybe show weather (temperatuur maybe only every 5min but meanly the clock of course). Would really like to make a 24h version. Many thanks if you have the project files for this 24h version with tempature. Cheers

I've already built mine with a 24h layout and it works fine! :D
@@alexanderhackner what did you change and add for 24 hour time?
Absolutely masterful!
Thank you! Cheers!
What was the total cost (Time and Money) of the project?
i wanna know it too..
I spent quite a bit..north of $350 usd but I also didn’t have a soldering iron or certain things so if you have all the necessary tools you can expect it to be less. Also depends on the wooden backboard you decide to use. I got a nice piece of maple and that was roughly 1/3rd of my cost as lumber prices arnt necessarily cheap right now.
This is superb. Very entertaining even though I don't have either a 3D printer or the skill to ever make it.
Thanks. :)
This is extreme cool mate! I’ll for sure try to make one for myself :D Thank you for sharing this project!
Glad you like it! :)
Fantastic -project and EXCELLENT description and presentation.
ThankYou
I am thinking, how many weeks will the 3D printer be running.
It seems, there is a poor connection at 16:50 where the copper wire is half out. In my opinion those copper strands should be soldered first to make sure they are staying together for a firmer conductive flow and no change of coming into contact and short things. I mean, you're so clever in doing this nice project, yet you fail to make sure wires are connected properly.
Your word of warning is pretty wrong!
If you power all those leds only from usb, you will most likely kill your arduino
You wont damage anything by powering the arduino by the powersupply and the usb.
So please do exactly the opposite and not plug in only the usb while having this many leds connected!
Otherwise love the project
So, I am currently (ha) trying this, i think i may have killed 2 arduinos. I am trying to put the code on the arduino prior to connecting to the LEDs and main PSU.
this is SO FREAKING COOL!!! Well done! TY for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
"Looks great, I'll try that one"
Needs 3 D printer
"ok nvm"
I've been letting my graphics card mine bitcoin and about to cash it in to buy a 3d printer... a good hobby level printer is from $400 to $500 and you can turn around and make money with it on etsy
@@thorthenoob2588 A Creality Ender 3 is a great 3D printer and it's less than $200
The simple shapes needed for this project can easily be printed with most any printer.
Pure genius idea, would love to have this thing in my living room
Wow, thanks Xbb. :)
:sob: i'm working something exact like this (is taking me a few years) but using MM5314N and ULN2803 istead or Arduino, well the classic way (Arduino did not exist when i start it):smile:
@@clairevyanse5645 The started to become popular in 2014 tho. Just because there were released on 2005 doesn't mean everyone had access to one in 2005.
@@teodoranthony2409 There were tons of people using them, and dozens of books/guides etc. at early as 2007. They were pretty much popular instantly.
@@vince7783 Maybe where you life. But I remember those thing becoming popular around 2014 before that you would have to search for such thing.
I'm not that much into this scene so lets not discuss any more about this. You might be right.

Did I imply that?
Learn to read. I'm not here to do that for you.
Hello bro I am from India but I like your all videos and new ideas thanks for give us new ideas
Nice example of "DIY" that people would like to do but then it starts with 3d printer and youre out......

Title "3D printable"
Comments "What, a 3D printer?? I'm out"
Those 200€ for my "Ender 3" printer has been my best investment over the last years.
I printed loads of cool and/or useful stuff that can´t be bought nowhere!
You don't need to use a 3D printer to build a similar clock/shelf. Take the idea and apply it to a construction method that is available to you.
@Billy West Right now in 2020 what is a good one to buy so you can do just about any small tech DIY project? I am just so not in the know when it comes to 3d Printers I would hate to buy one to find out it cant print the kind of material I need to use or has some other limitation. I hear about the Monoprice printers a lot.
Nice work! This setup is only meant to be showing the 12 h format. Can you also show a setup for the 24 h format?
Watched this knowing full well I'm never going to make it
Super neat project, you could add batteries inside one of the unutilised sleeves so no external power supply or wires are needed.
Now redo the thing for the normal world where there is a thing called 24h format for clocks.
MrIngnorant333 I live in the normal world where 12hr format for clocks is a thing. I hope you are not one of those elites that use 24hr wall clock and wrist watches.
Nipun Bhalla in which normal world ist 12h clock Format a thing? Be realistic man. It’s only more complicated.
Aahhh MrIgnorance... If you were realistic, you could already have searched around internet to find who all use 12hr format but nevermind.
@@nipunbhalla i did. Only the USA and Australia, and some small countries. So, most part of the world seems to be clever enough to use the right format for time.
Hey Luis! I did it!! after 1 month of work I eventually managed to complete this project!! Well, not quite... Still have some minor things to fine tune.
It's amazing! I used a ESP32 instead and I re-wrote the code, using part of yours. The clock is now syncing down the time from a NTP source, saving it into the RTC as backup.
Work in progress is the MQTT support to let it communicate with HomeAssistant to easily change the colours, switching on/off the downlights, etc...
I'd like eventually to share my code. May I do it through your channels?
Hey, i would Like to add adresse mine with Google Assistent. Did you already share your Code somewhere?
@@Kekswicher Hey! Not yet... I lacked time lately.
I briefly worked on it again today 'cause I figured the clock didn't automatically adjusted to the summer time.
@@Kekswicher It should definitely be fpossible to integrate the ESP with GoogleAssistant.
I quick Googled and probably "RainMaker" is the way.
I too am making this project and would like to use the ESP32 and use with Home assistant but I am no coder. Have you made any progress with this at all? Thanks for any work you have done on this.
It's not DIY SIR....MORE THAN A PRO...WILL BE ABLE TO DO THESE THINGS.
Wow: That is very cool. I don't know why you didn't use the Arduino as the RTC. It's very easy to do. No need for the added expense, space and power of an external module.
Amazing execution. Video editing and creativity 10/10! Keep up the great work.
Thank you Ryan. :)
Nearly finished mine ! posting on Thingiverse when it is ! Waiting for some PLA to arrive. Awesome project !! thanks a lot !!
No problem Stéphane, I'm looking forward to seeing it. :)
Beautiful project. Excellent explanations. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Beautifully finished project and elegant shelf/clock. This is one of the few DIY electronics projects that I'm tempted to actually create. Just need to get my hands on a 3D printer or a friend with one.
Another thing to do that helps prevent the power cable from tugging off the components is to tie a simple knot in the cable while leaving a bit of slack, all inside the device. Ideally, the knot is larger than the hole so that the cable can't be pulled out. That along with the glue will give a very durable and nicely finished power cable attachment.
most nicest channel i've ever seen
Great work on this clock-shelf. Is there a way to create onz with 24h numbers AND maybe show weather (temperatuur maybe only every 5min but meanly the clock of course).
Would really like to make a 24h version.
Many thanks if you have the project files for this 24h version with tempature.
Cheers
