So most of my models are centered around wargaming, scale models, dioramas and such…

Since with my printer I received clock components and have 2 preschool kids at home, I've decided to design something more practical and educational that hopefully will also be useful to others.
Clock that helps organize time for kids and should help them learn numbers and perspective of time.

LEARNING NUMBERS
Each hour, have an animal(s) with a feature representing a certain number that will help recognize numbers:
1. Stork on one leg
2. Two ducks
3. Rooster with 3 feathers on tail
4. Horse (4 legs)
5. Bee with 5 stripes
6. Ladybug with 6 dots
7. Seven fishes
8. Octopus (eight tentacles)
9. Jellyfish (9 tentacles)
10. Crab (eight legs+ two arms, so ten in total)
11. Caterpillar with eleven legs

12. Hedgehog with 12 spikes

Clock have 2 variants:

1. ACTIVITY
Visual aids should help a child understand why a given activity has ended.
Clock have 30-minute panels that can be placed in desired positions. Activity panels include:
EAT- It's dinner time!
BOOK- time to read! (or a bit less pleasant version- learn/ homework)
SCREEN- cartoons!
WASH- get ready for a bath!
PLAY- playtime!
SLEEP- prepear for bead!
CLEAN- clean your room!
WALK- Let's go to the playground or park!
SCHOOL- time to prepare for kindergarten / school!
If 30 minutes is not enough for some activities, you can simply place two or three panels next to each other.
STL files also include empty panel in case I mkissed something importand for you or your children :)

2. TIME (MINUTES)

After adding minutes arm and using 5/10/15 minutes pannels you can help your kid understand time and what does it mean when you asing him/her for “X more minutes” before you come and play with him! :)

PRINTING
2 print profiles are avileable- since the model does not require AMS first print profile plates for dial and panels have pauses for swapping filament color.

ASSEMBLY
Clock have a simple push-fit construction, and you can simply place panes tightly between the dial and frame.
The clock mechanism should be screwed through the middle hole.

Time plates (5, 10, 15 minutes) were corrected on files and buildplate :)

WANING!
This model does not (yet) include a battery cover, so I would strongly recommend keeping it out of the reach of children- preferably on the shelf that would be visible for them but not accessible. Probably in the near future I'll try to figure out child-safe solution but for now, keep in mind!
 

I wish you all the best and only successful prints ! :)
