Summary
BlackberryJamMan created a design for displaying the correct time on a ring of LEDs (neopixel ring) in Instructables.com. His project is named "Desktop Equinox Clock" and can be found at https://www.instructables.com/Desktop-Equinox-Clock/.
While his design called for putting 4 quarters of an LED ring together, there are also complete one-piece rings available, such as at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083W2ZWTQ/
However, this ring is slightly larger than the original, but simply scaling the 3D-printed ring does not work.
So, I have re-created the 3D-printed ring from scratch, and I've also created a cover to go over the LED ring.
Because the ring is being made larger, then the base of the clock also has to be made larger. For that, you can simply scale the base.stl file by 109% before slicing it. (I am not providing a scaled base, here.)
Print Settings
Printer:
BIBO 2
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
.200
Infill:
100
Notes:
NOTE: On my BIBO printer, the rings and the base are just about the size of the printer bed. In my case, there is not enough room to print a skirt.
Also, obviously, you'll need to flatten the rings to the printer bed before slicing. Do not leave them standing upright.
