Our clock holder needs to fulfill two basic tasks:
- Keep the clock face upright.
- Stop the pins on the QT Py touching the back of the LCD.
As long as you manage those things, you can set it up however you like. There is an STL file you can use if you want to, but be as creative as you like with your housing.
You can download the clock holder STL file from https://www.printables.com/model/1281120-clock-holder or via the green button below. It should print on its side without supports. Two machine screws hold the LCD in place. There are no mounting holes on the QT Py, so you'll need to use a dollop of something sticky to hold it in place. I used White Tack, but hot glue would also work (but might be harder to remove). Whatever you use, just be careful to keep it away from the USB or STEMMA QT ports.
Once everything's together, plug it into a power source and enjoy your world clock.
