3D model description

Upcycle your empty 3DSolutech filament spools into garden vertical wind turbines.

Print either 1 "Full Blade", 2 each "Half Blades" or 3 each "Third Blades" (Depending on size of your printer) as well as 2 each "Rim".

Secure the blades to the filament spool with one of two methods.

1: Glue them to the spool (Secure split blades with screws until the glue cures and then remove)

2: Use machine screws that are no more than 10mm long. (You do not want them to touch the rims. The spool should spin freely on them).

*(Full blades you just need to unsnap one spool side and then you just slip it on.)

Inner diameter of the Rims is just over 1". This will allow the Rim and Spool to spin freely on 1" pipes (Metal or PVC) secured to a fence or staked in the ground. Use couplers to set height of the turbines.
