Mechanical Glowing Graphic Clock | ESP32 Arduino Maker DIY Kit

I. Product Introduction

This 3D-printed mechanical glowing graphic clock, developed using the ESP32 + Arduino open-source programming platform, is a creative technology project designed for maker education, DIY crafts, and electronics enthusiasts.

Utilizing a dual-servo linkage mechanical structure, equipped with a glowing panel and LED indicator lights, the mechanical arm follows the real-time clock's movement when powered on, dynamically drawing hour and minute traces on the glowing panel. During the day, it serves as a delicate desktop mechanical ornament; in low-light environments, the glowing panel retains the drawing traces, enabling visible timekeeping. It integrates three core maker skills: mechanical transmission, embedded programming, and 3D modeling.

Available:

3D model printing files

Arduino program source files

The high-precision real-time clock module has been replaced, adding functions such as clock time setting and minute-by-minute display (which can be turned on or off).

Power and programming interfaces use USB Type-C interfaces.
