Designing the alternative to fireworks

A fun 3D printed missile with a tiny arduino circuit inside makes amazing light effects in the air.
We had been playing with these slingshot rockets but they break too easily. They hit the ground and the light stops working. So in this video I discect them and then redesign a better digital firework. Mine use RGB LED's controlled with a Tiny Arduino, and powered with a rechargable battery. I call them Night Rockets. They are 3D Printed using a new tough and flexible resin called Conjure Tough. I even add an accelerometer in there for some fun effects. Enjoy!!
I do get a small affiliate comission when you buy products using my links. And I really appreciate the support.
Thanks for TinyCircuits.com for supplying the guts for these Night Rockets.
I now have merch on amazon: amzn.to/3A6GU2B
And a little cheaper on Spreadshop: www.youtube.co...
Don't want to design and print your own? Amazon has the cheap Rocket Slingshot Flying Copters with LED Lights:

amzn.to/32KWEeh Conjure Tough

The EPAX E10 4k Printer on Amazon: amzn.to/34u7Ahm
The Epax on their site is a little cheaper:

You can supposedly get 10% off the E10-4k by using the coupon code NERDTRONIC.

@Nerdtronic
@Nerdtronic 2 года назад
I'll be posting the files soon. Been a busy week. They do helicopter down. One of the ideas for a future version is to have the wings folded back for the flight up to reduce air resistance and go higher, and have a small actuator to pull the props out for the flight down. The biggest reason they break (I've broken all of them now) is that the wings tear and then don’t work on the way down and it drops like a rock.

@marckerger
@marckerger 2 года назад
how about adding an accelerometer function to flash ( or do something) at the highest point .
@Nerdtronic
@Nerdtronic 2 года назад
It sort of does because the acceleration changes at that point. So it turns white for a second. It’s weird because the accelerometer doesn’t give you speed but changes in speed. So you could probably track speed from that mathematically from that. But also it’s hard to see changes in the light 150 feet up. I do have an idea of what to do with 2.0 though. I could have the wings be folded in on the up flight so it’ll go higher. Then fold out when it reaches the highest point.
