Lunar Clock with 3D Printed holder for stepper motor and opto-interrupter

After a long gap, I'm working on my Lunar Clock again! A while ago I replaced the Arduino Mega and 2 shields with an Arduino-programmable Sparkfun ESP8266 Thing Dev board.

Now I've replaced the laser-cut lunar images disk and laser-cut holder for the stepper motor and opto-interrupter with newly-designed 3D printed parts.

This video shows the lunar clock rotating the lunar images disk to show the current phase of the moon, based on a UK web site.

The project is open source, with all the files on Github, at https://github.com/bneedhamia/LunarClock  My blog about this project, among other things, is at https://bluepapertech.com/3d-printing/lunar-clock-designing-a-3d-printed-clip/
