Wow! This watch not only shows you the time, but also offers you cool light and color effects! Red stands for the hours, green for the minutes and yellow for the seconds. If you want to make this clock, you will need Arduino in addition to your 3D printer. Maker “THETNR” chose Arduino Nano to save space and explains in a Youtube tutorial how to make this unusual wall clock.

Here is a cool Art Deco-looking clock with lighting, which shows you the time just like it used to. Maker “Oscarko” didn’t print the display and the motor, but bought it cheaply in a shop, but the two-color housing comes 100 percent from the 3D printer.

The design of this extravagant wall clock is inspired by the Mac OSX Dashboard widgets. The frame, symbols and minute hand glow in the dark and the fluorescent red hour hand and second hands glow in the black light.
