Gary the Sasquatch

thingiverse

Celebrate the goudaness of Flathead Lake Cheese factory ( https://flatheadlakecheese.com ) by printing a wind vane of their mascot Gary the Sasquatch. FLC makes the best gouda on the planet! This was originally designed to sit atop a gazebo, or a metal pipe. If you don't have either of those, I included a base that can be mounted on a 4x4 post. If you use the base, I made provision for a 3mm screw that can secure the vane to the base from the bottom. I contemplated adding a bearing to the model, but both the vane and cups seem to move fine in a light wind. Maybe in a future version. When you print the wind cups, you might need to add a skirt to the model as I filleted most of the edges. The vane needs supports for the internal hub. Neither the vane nor the post/base need supports.
