3D model description

Functional concept of a vertical axis wind turbine, best suits for strong winds due to the small diameter.
As an engineer which loves green power i could't have a balcony without a wind turbine sitting there, it's free power, let's not waste it!
The full scale version has a hole for a 8mm diameter shaft.

%% UPDATE %%

Edited versions files have the New_version name

XL version has same height but larger radius.

The slots on the shaft connection are present for future upgrade for inner blades useful to let the turbine start spinning under small breeze.

This upgrade will be realesed soon.

3D printing settings

FDM

use raft or brim.
tree-support may be difficult to remove

If you want to print it scaled down be aware that 0.3 nozzle performs well until 55% of the original dimension, for smaller print use smaller nozzle or the blade won't be printed properly.
