Digital Gravity Hourglass Case ESP8266
Print Profile(1)

Description
This is a custom 3D-printed enclosure for a digital gravity hourglass project based on the ESP8266 (NodeMCU) and MPU6050 sensor with 2x WS2812B 8x8 LED matrices.
The enclosure is designed to fit all components precisely, including the OLED display, push buttons, buzzer, PCB, and 18650 battery. All parts snap or screw into place for a stable and clean assembly.
⚙️ How it works
The system uses the MPU6050 gyroscope and accelerometer to detect orientation and movement. The LED matrices simulate a digital sand/gravity effect based on sensor data, creating an interactive “falling particles” display.
🛠️ Assembly Instructions
- Install all electronic components into the designed slots
- Connect the LED matrices (OUT → IN)
- Connect all GND pins together
- Insert OLED, buttons, buzzer, and battery
- Ensure correct orientation of MPU6050 and OLED
- Close the enclosure using M3 screws
- Upload the firmware and test the system
⚠️ Make sure cable lengths are sufficient before final assembly.
