Wind Jammer Weather Vane

thingiverse

This is a reworking of the wind spinner found on https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3095317 A combined wind spinner and weather vane. Requires 2 bearing 6mm ID x 17mm OD x 6mm long and 2 6mm id thrust washers and a short length of 6mm steel rod. The mount for this spinner is sized fit inside a 38mm diameter pole and accomodates two bearings and two thrust washers for effortless spinning. The spinner part will need a short length of metal rod gluing into it which sticks out suffiently to pass directly through the bearings in the base. I used two 6mm thrust washers to get even lower friction between the moving parts though they aren't strictly speaking necessary and 2 smooth well greased washer would suffice in most cases . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdMqf5ytDs4
