Follow the official blog post: https://www.prusaprinters.org/?p=8875&preview=true. First 3D prints are enclosed files. We printed these from Prusament PLA galaxy black. However, if you plan to place the windmill outside, consider using PET or ABS instead of PLA, as it does not resist high temperatures, especially when it's black - it absorbs almost all sunlight energy. You will need twelve blades, one base, one shaft part, one tail and tail grip, six clips of type B, five clips of type C, and one nose (the only part that requires supports; the rest can be printed without them). No special printing settings are required; just use default settings. Once the printed parts are ready, let's start assembling. Take one spool frontage and push it onto the base, then insert the smooth rod. On the opposite end of the rod place the joint, and slide the second smooth rod in perpendicularly. Insert nuts into the holes and secure the rod with screws. Take the tail and slide it into the tail grip, securing it with screws, and install it on the longer end of the horizontal rod. Secure the entire tail as well. Next, take the second spool frontage and prepare the clips. Click the clips onto the spool as shown in the picture and insert the blades. Use super glue if needed. The final step is to assemble the shaft. It's essential to secure the 3D printed ring between the gears - it will protect the wheel from sliding off. Don't forget to use screws with a flat head for securing it, as it needs to rotate freely inside the shaft cover. The windmill is now ready! A potential link to a motor via a belt, turning it into a ventilator, is up to you! https://www.dominikcisar.cz https://www.model3D.cz
