Sleep Traning Rocket Clock

cults3d

This is a basic sleep training clock designed specifically for my three-year-old child. My wife discovered a product online that closely resembles a standard clock, and when I saw it, I immediately thought of creating one myself instead. After conducting an online search for similar ideas, I found an Instructable by thijsv that served as the basis for many of the electronics used here, but mine is significantly simpler since I only wanted two LEDs. The code is a heavily modified version of that project, and I'd like to express my gratitude to thijsv for making the details of his project available, allowing me to create this successfully. The rocket window lights up with a star and moon design after 7:30 pm, and at 7 am, it changes to light up the rocket's smoke trail, indicating that it's time for my child to get up. The rocket can be lifted off its base and played with, and it can freely rotate if desired to adjust the direction of the light. On our first night using this sleep training clock, it was a huge success, with my child running into our bedroom at 7:01 am, exclaiming "My rocket says it's morning time!" Inside the rocket is an Arduino Nano with a low-cost real-time clock and two LEDs. I printed the parts using a mix of 0.2 and 0.1mm layers, with the engine and porthole printed at 0.06mm. Most parts don't require supports, except for the porthole (printed facing up) and smoke (only for the Arduino holder part). I used a plastic milk bottle to create a diffuser that sticks over the window shade, softening the light coming through the window. The wiring follows the diagram provided. Construction is shown in the cutaway image. It's essential to ensure the top LED is flush with the post, allowing the rocket to sit properly on its base. The lower LED position doesn't matter as much, but it's best to keep it near the engine bell for aesthetic purposes. Required components: Print one of each part, except for three fins and two light posts.
