Vertical Axis Wind Turbine VAWT A beautiful wind turbine (Ø245mm x 800mm). Intended for balcony and low windspeed use. Designed for my Ultimaker 2+ (max build volume, big nozzle, high printspeed).Of course you can print it on every, big enough printer. I recommend to use a big nozzle (0.6mm for „Flügel 8x.stl“ with Vase Mode, 0.8mm for the rest) short video: https://youtu.be/4xszhV_X3DU ___ update 09/01/2017 Improved version of Flügel_8x.stl 19/01/2017: upload a GCODE for the Wings (Flügel_8x.stl).Works with ultimaker 2 and 2+. ___   What you need 1x . . . . . . .
