Welcome to this Instructable for a very simple, 3D printed LED clock designed with Tinkercad and using just two other components - a pre-made 60x LED ring with programmable WS2812 RGB LEDs, and a low cost WiFi connected NodeMCU ESP8266 based microcontroller board.

This instructable walks you through the Tinkercad design process including the new Codeblocks feature to easily design the clock face with very accurate second/minute markers. The clock face is 3D printed and there's minimal soldering required to put it together.

Why Wifi connected? It connects to the internet with Network Time Protocol (NTP), always shows the correct time, and updates automatically when the clocks change in spring and autumn/fall. The Open Source Tasmota firmware is loaded onto the microcontroller is configured easilly to clock mode. The RGB LEDs can be programmed to any colour, and the sizes of the second/minute/hour markers can be adjusted. You can also use the WiFi control to change the brightness or turn it on and off with Alexa or other home assistant, no coding required.
