Wind Turbine
Description
This is my first attempt at designing a wind turbine an thus it lacks power generation features, so really it's much more of a weathervane. Still it's a fun project and adds something to the view in my father's backyard. construction will require 5x 10mm M3 screws, 5x 20mm M3 screws, 8x M3 nuts, 4x 8x22x7 bearings, and some super glue. screw holes are interference fit and the bearings are press fit, you made need to trim the edges of bearing holes though depending on print orientation. I glued the blade extensions to the blades, and glued the blades to the blade mount. Using Baking Soda as a kicker helps in these. You will need to print: 4x blades 4x blade extensions 1x front bearing block 1x back bearing block 1x flywheel 2x washers 1x axle 1x guide fins 1x mount bearing block 1x mount tube 1x mount base 1x nose cone (use supports) 1x blade mount 1x top mounting ring 1x bottom mounting ring Good printing. If you make one I'd love to see pictures and hear feedback!
