- I'll show you how to build a very smart looking shelving system that includes a hidden giant clock in the edges of the shelves, and integrated LED downlighters to show off your favorite items on the shelves. 👇 More info below 👇
As the lighting is LED (using WS2821B 'Neopixels') you can choose your own colours. A discreet photoresistor also dims the LED's when the ambient light levels drop - great for evening ambiance in any room.
List of items used in this project and where to find them:
■ An Arduino Nano(x1): geni.us/ArduinoNanoV3
■ A 5m roll of WS2812B LEDS which has 60 LED’s a meter: geni.us/5mWS2812B60m
■ A Photosensitive resistor module: geni.us/PhotoresistorModule
■ A DS3231: geni.us/DS3231-RTC
■ Some Hook up wire - ideally three different colours: geni.us/22AWGWire
■ A couple of 470 Ohm resistors: geni.us/Ufa2s
■ A couple of electric terminal block strips - each 5 blocks long: geni.us/TerminalBlocks
■ No 8 wood screws: geni.us/No8Screw
■ A 5v power supply with screw terminals: geni.us/PowerSupplyTerm
■ Some thicker twin core cable
■ Some filament for the 3D printed parts: geni.us/PLAFilament
■ Wood infused PLA filament: geni.us/WoodPLA
■ Wall unit rail: geni.us/WallUnitRail

It's very rare that a youtuber will freely share every information and files needed to accomplish a project. This helps every aspiring builders master their craft. Thanks
I'm really impressed to the way you are explaining things that easy way. one of the best TH-cam's recommendation.
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!
This project won the grand prize for the clock contest in Instrucables.
Great job man.
This is so creative! An awesome idea, beautifully executed and clearly explained. You've got a lot of talent - thank you so much for making the video, and sharing it with us! 🙌🙌🙌
wow this is awesome! really nice work Lewis! the whole video is clear, detailed, fun, well paced, and the result is absolutely fantastic! thank you so much for all the effort you've gone into to share this project with us in such wonderful detail and make it so approachable. i'm definitely going to try this!
Thank you. I'm really proud of the finished project. :)
@@DIYMachines And so you should be. My time is precious to me, and you sir, have earned my subscription based solely on this video. Totally awesome content and presentation.
@@DIYMachines I've finished mine today :D. Great instructions! I had a lot of problems with the LEDs glitching when using them with the 470R resistors. Without them the clock is working fine.
Alexander Hackner fantastic to hear it’s gone well. If you don’t mind I’d love to see a photo of it. You can share it on Thingiverse as a “make”: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4207524 or send one via Facebook: facebook.com/diymachines
Hello sir how to get details of connection diagram, i am from india and saw many items are not available on Amazon.in so how I can get?
Genius! A real 3d printed project with actual value and real world application, good job!
Thank you Adrian. :)
How will this show time at 22:49?

@@TheAdminFromHell this is an issue. can't.
@@TheAdminFromHell it's a 12 hour clock, you could easily make a 24 hrs one, just modify the code
Hi mna, Im from Argentina and I really was impressed when I saw this! Definitly Im going to try this project! Congrats! You`re a genius!
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!
Thank you. :)
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.
You are very welcome.
This is the cleanest, most well explained DIY video that I have ever seen. Huge hats off to you for not o lt coming up with a super cool project, but documenting in a clear and concise way.
This is SOOOOOOO Fantastic! So Patiently explained and precise! Thank you Good Sir!
Wow, love it! Definitely one to add to my list of projects that I'll probably never get around to! Subbed.
To be honest, I don’t know how you manage to do such a good job every single time. Very well done!
Thanks for the kind words 😁. I'll keep working on the projects.
I've seen so many clock designs over the years... but this one is finally something i consider to also build. This is a very nice design!
Thank you very much!
this is one of the best instructional videos I've even seen. he did an amazing job.
Wow, just wow... You are the best at explaining EXACTLY how to do this stuff. Easily a like from me ;)
:) Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying the projects.
Oh my GOD... that was the neatest, most satisfying and the most informative project that I have ever seen on TH-cam... I wish I had known about your channel earlier...🌹🌹🌹
Sumerian RC Pilot thanks. :)
Awesome project man! This is the first video i've ever seen of you and I immediately subscribed 😍 stay just the way you are! And thank you so much for the work you've put into this project
Thank you so much for including all of your project files and explaining how to make such a cool project in outstanding detail.
I may buy a 3D printer just for this project! Beautifully designed, incredibly functional, and quite elegant too!
Thanks Mark. Hopefully if you do I'll be able to come up with some more projects to create with it. :)
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.
You are a GENIUS. Loved your work and how you shared every detail about it to the whole world. Definitely made my night!
Wow-what a great job and project. Well done! It looks like it took some serious time to print everything.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Great job, I will making my own for sure!!! :D Who in the world dislikes a video like this...? :P
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.
Bro does this clock only ends at 9:59? Because i didnt see 0 in the left during the time 7 at the beginning
The combination of watches and shelves is a wonderful idea.
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 extreme cool mate! I’ll for sure try to make one for myself :D Thank you for sharing this project!
Glad you like it! :)
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.
This is the best explanation of any electronics i've seen other than actual lectures
great ,wonderful,fantastic,gorgeous ....it deserves all the beautiful adjectives.
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.
That was awesome. You should sell them as kits. To keep shipping costs down, the back board can be omitted and a paper template included instead.
I'd second this! I don't have a 3D printer myself, but could probably handle the electronics build and assembly.
This is possibly the best set of instructions I have seen in a TH-cam video. Really intrigued to give this a go for myself. Excellent job!
Thank you. I'm glad you appreciate it.
@@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
Great project and great video! All the fun stuff cnc, 3d printing, electronics, and arduino. Thank you for doing such an excellent project and a great job, please keep up the awesome work.
GREAT job, i already do the Simon's game, and its perfect !! My Daugther play every day with Simon's game. I think i'll do this new project so BIG THANKS for quality of your videos !!!
Thanks. :) I still play on with the Simons Says I made whenever I need a couple minutes break from work. Glad to hear your daughter enjoys it.
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.
Yeah that is true. But you may need supports if you did print it in the other orientation
I am new to this channel and have just finished watching this. What a great design and extremely helpful tutorial.
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"
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your gratitude.
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.
Don't you mean a ESP8266?
me before watching: yea that looks simple....
me after watching: hmmm where can i buy 1?
I was asking myself the same thing. Where can I buy this as I do not have a 3D printer. Even a kit I can assemble would be fine.
I need a link to buy it!
@@MrRogergreene There us 3D pricing services, you can send them what you want to be printed and they will ship it to you.
@@MrRogergreene There are places with public 3D printers for a reasonable price
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
What a great project and so well explained! I will build this project with my students for the hall at school. Thanks. I will change it to a 24 hr. clock.
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.
I wish I had a 3D printer for this one. It looks SO GOOD.
Omg, everywhere exist companies which will print anything for you. You NOT need to have own printer.
@@juliap.5375 sure, but did you see the price for printing over 60 Parts? ;) or do you know a cheap vendoor for that?
That is such a fun project! Any plans for a 24h version? It looks amazing with the small plants.
The perfect display shelf for a watch collection.
Really nice project and well prepared. What I love most is the clear way you describe everything, with your diagrams and your calmness. Liked it really much.
Thanks. :)
Build and Video quality was so solid you honestly shocked me with your lack of heat-shrink usage 0.o
and excess solder! lol
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.
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
Phenomenal work from the video editing to the engineering project itself. It's informative and explained in detail. Just so inspiring, makes me want to buy a 3d printer and I know nothing about it. Wish I had you as my science teacher
Awesome tutorial - you provide lots of handy details! keep up this quality!
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
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
Thanks. And yes, a revisit and some improvements is on my to-do list. 🙂
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 !!!
Thank you so much! It took a while to film and edit so I'm glad you appreciate it. :) Thanks.
Now that's a nice one! Thank you for preparing this video.
YEAH, THIS WAS AWESOME!!
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.
Good advice - I bought some and really like them. Thanks. :)
Awesome!
Super informative. It's so cool to see 3D models used in real life.
This is really cool. I'm tempted to make this myself.
One improvement I might suggest is using Wago Lever-nuts instead of those terminal blocks. Much more compact and easy to use. I love them.
24h support says hello! :D
Its really awesome and i'm really tempted to make one myself, the tons of 3D printing is holding me back abit, as I don't have easy access to one.
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.
I have used wood thin aluminium and an auduino uno 3d printing isn’t necessary
Thisis awesome! you've got a follower out of me! i'd love to try this at one point! I also THOROUGHLY enjoy the level of detail it makes it damn near impossible mess something up!
Thanks for sharing your skills, great looking design and detail explanation for the project! Great job, keep going ahead!
That's brilliant, thumbs up for me. Well thought out.
I suggest you look into improving the soldering though, many of those joints look terrible :(
Why has this channel not been recommended to me earlier? Thanks for sharing this wonderful project.

Having said this, I don't think powering so many LED's from your Arduino is healthy. That's asking for trouble.
I would prefer

@@themalicraft979 subscribers++
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
WOW! Instant subscribed! It's absolutely incredible the quality of content of some new channels on youtube nowadays.

@@alexanderhackner what did you change and add for 24 hour time?
No 24-hour clock? Nice work though!!
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.
@@DIYMachines Could you maybe do a video about it? If not, im just building the 12 hour clock, because i love it.

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 amazing. I don't know when, but I will eventually do this. Thanks!
Amazing execution. Video editing and creativity 10/10! Keep up the great work.
Thank you Ryan. :)
Watched this knowing full well I'm never going to make it
DO NOT run power from your arduino. Neopixels can require up to 30mA/LED and an arduino nano is certainly not able to provide such power for strips. Always use an external power supply when powering multiple LEDs.
The Arduino isn't supplying the 5v, they all share the power from the wall adapter. The data line is a not a power source.
And also has been pointed out at 11:30?
@@MichaelBransonCoach it's supplied through computer USB, that's not great too!
Like @Set Kat mentioned, USB power (from a PC) is not sufficient for this many LEDs. A standard USB port can provide around 500 mA so this would mean 15-30 Neopixels (depending on the exact type) so < 1 meter. Only if you can guarantee that they won't be on at full brightness can you connect more than that. Otherwise you might fry your USB port (especially on cheap PCs, ports on a higher end PCs are usually protected).
@@sabinemayermayer no, he means that Arduino output is max. 30mA. You should use some transistors for controlling LED strips.
Thats really beautiful. Cool project!
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
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.
Cool but why to use so much additive manufacturing(3D printing)? Amount of filament used is pretty hefty when with slight chances to design one can make it out of wood much cheaper. Also never trust just a glue to hold your wires in place if it goes outside of the project casing, like mains power wire. Tie a knot on the wire, or use zip ties to make physical blocker to prevent wire being pulled. You can use glues to improve and seal the hole. In optimal install never leave more than 1mm2 of copper exposed to prevent accidental shorts. On screw terminal ideally you cut the wire and solder join it together with hear shrink tube, so if future if sold to person who i jack ass its obvious that it low voltage application, so they wont just screw the mains plug and burn whole thing.
So is this 12hour clock? and is there option to make it 24 hour one in code?
When can we see That design from you
wow just wow!!! and this guy seems like the sweetest human being in the world too!
😊 Wow, thank you.

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.

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.
Wow this project is gorgeous!!!
