3D model description
This is an ESP32 and Atmega 328 Clock Based On Aviation Style 3D Printed Instrument Panel Gauges
Housed on a reclaimed lump of Oak, three off 3D printed instrument gauges show time in hours minutes and seconds.
A secondary display on the seconds gauge also shows seconds on a 7 segment display.
Chimes sound out the hours and quarters and can be set to day, 24/7 or off as required.
The analogue gauges are each driven by a NEMA17 stepper motor while time is automatically fetched from an NTP time server.
A PIR is fitted to shut down the clock when no movement is detected. The clock wakes up and resets the time and display when movement is detected again.
If the PIR is not required it can be linked out on the Vero board.
A selector with spoken prompts allows setting of the seconds update frequency, chime times, summer winter setting, chime volume and clock reset.

3D printing settings
ESP32 software now at v73 PIR bugfix.
Printed on a Creality Ender 5 Pro using PLA+ filament. I have kept support requirement to a minimum and where required are easy to remove. You will need to flip a few parts around in your printing sofwate to get minimal or no supports. Most parts are printed using black filament apart from the lid to the PCB housing that I have printed using clear. Hardware M2, M3 hex bolt and self tappers and M2/M3 threaded inserts.
