Where I live it's hard to find specific models of electronic components, such as the designers' original 8x8 matrix. I obtained a cheap Chinese alternative which works fine, but didn't align with the letters in the downloaded faceplate. And it needs 5V from Pin 40 VBUS.
All my files match the originals, so you can mix and match. You'll need to download the back plate and the optional legs from the original model, where you can find all the information about options, the software and videos showing how to make the finished clock.
- “face-plate cut letters.3mf” Differences from the original are the solid first layer is removed, so the letters cut-outs go all the way through (the original thickness remains), and the screw holes are filled (as they don't work with my LED matrix)
- “case-first-frame LED locators.3mf” adds some spacers which align my matrix with the faceplate letters
When assembling the clock with the matrix solder pads at top right (as in the GurgleApps video), the side spacers will be on the left (no spacers on the right) - “case-second-frame VBUS cutout.3mf” has a channel for the 5V wire from VBUS. The photos show how to place the wire on the Pico
- “face-plate cut letters text.3mf” adds to the other “cut letters” file some text where the GurgleApps logo would go. In PrusaSlicer (and presumably in other slicers that I've never used) this text can be edited to whatever you like
