Sometimes some LEDs refuse to work with their brothers. When you finish soldering, you can add some tape or glue to the LEDs to keep them in place, if they don't fit tightly. So get some music playing and enjoy this kind of mindfulness exercise. The process is quite simple, but a bit laborious. This time is better to use regular coated wire to avoid shorcircuits. Now, cut your wire into the appropriate size and solder all the LEDs follow the draw.įor the most distant LEDs you will need a longer wire. If you don't have this, you could get any multifilament wire, peel a big piece of it and apply soldering to all of it, creating a rigid thick wire easy to work with (pic 10). My recomendation is that you use a thick single filament copper wire, as it will be much easier to work with. For the other two connections, you are gonna need some wire. Insert all the LEDs following the diagram (pic 7), making sure the little arrow on the LED faces the appropriate direction, creating that kind of spiral.įor the closest connection between LEDs, you could achieve a solder between them without using wire (I did it this way). You should first remove the adhesive with some alcohol before soldering to avoid toxic fumes. Bringing those projects to you requires 3 to 4 times the item price, so this could help me bring you more projects :)įor this step you will need to have printed XXX, and to cut 17 individual LEDs from the Strip.įor each of the LEDs, peel the terminals as shown in pic 5, presolder both sides before inserting them into the model to avoid melting the plastic later. Then, with this Zen concept in mind, I've decided to add a "Timer" function to it so that you can better control your time while you work, rest or do some mindfulness exercises!Īnd the best of all: The average cost is just 10$! (Most components in Supplies came in packs, so price could be a bit larger)Īnd as always, if you like this projects and want to contribute, you can make a small donation to my. Why Zen clock? When I've finished the first prototype, I've realized that being able to see just 4 updates/hour results in a less stressful time management being equally useful for most purposes. So I've created my own approach with this features in mind: super easy to build, astonishingly look and useful.
For me they where quite to complicated to build, requiring a CNC or awesome wood work skills. Most of you have seen those LED clocks shown here on Instructables, as I did.
