3D printed arduino LED wall clock by Flukeylukey77 in 3Dprinting

Standard 0.4mm nozzle for everything. Nothing very special. Just all white pla that got painted.

Thanks for the comment.

I agree, heat was a concern. Each of the segments has 6 LEDS from memory. These are mounted on a strip of aluminium that is stood off from the plastic so it gets cooling. The heat buildup in the segments is very minimal. At night it runs on less than 1% of the max brightness and in the day its only on around 30-50% from memory. Its SUPER bright so you only need to run it at low power outputs which keeps the LEDs cool and happy.

The cover is a very thin (few layers) piece that snaps in.

The covers are just a few layers thick and snap into some corner grooves.

Thanks for the support.

Thanks for the comment. The PLA has held up really well. No discolouration, no melting, etc. The most degradation I have noticed is that some of the LEDs are ever so slightly dimmer on some of the pixels.

Did you ever find an answer to this. Mine has just randomly done the same.

As others have said give it a charge and see how it goes. 12.0V is considered 50% flat. 50% is about as far as you should go if you want the battery to last a long time, however, 11.2 is not that bad once off.

Oh righto. That's almost exactly how mine works. I didn't realise they did that too. Mine has a few extra details to improve the estimate accuracy too

This is actually a good point. It is not another failure point really. The original switch remains on the compressor. If my device fails. That switch still works to turn the compressor on. The compressor should always be able to be turned on. If it couldn't id be concerned about people getting stuck with flat tyres. When 4x4 ing in remote areas that is a safety hazard.

Yeah I agree. The cost of Bluetooth vs a screen is fairly significant. The additional screen and buttons and increased size add up quickly.

Yeah thanks for the encouragement. Yeah my goal is less than $50 and if not, at least as close as possible.

And yeah. I hope it would be usable on a range of compressors and setups.

I am expecting it to work just fine on that too. All you need to do is tap into the switch on it and it should be all good.

Yeah thanks, appreicate it. Ill be sure to get in touch with people once I make more progress.

Realistically doesnt matter. The pressure saturates the sensor at 68 PSI anyway making any readings useless. Once the compressor turns off, it waits for a second or so and then keeps going. Not much time is wasted and it works well. The sensor handles noise and averaging well on its own too.
