3D Printed Chinese Oriental Folding Fan (No Assembly Required)

thingiverse

As Chinese New Year approaches quickly, in relation to this year's Lunar Year Of The Goat significance, I've created an oriental collection of Chinese folding fans designed for both decorative and practical purposes. Mandarin calligraphy on each fan translates to "GOAT" in its native language. A red calligraphic design on one of the fans represents prosperity and abundant fortune throughout the Year Of The Goat. In images: I'm showcasing three versions, all held by a model - first featuring a wooden print using wood PLA material, second is gold printed with gold PLA material and third is printed in red using red PLA material with Chinese calligraphy and a goat pattern embossed onto it. As this year's festive occasion is upon us, I've decided to upload the red fan for public sharing on instructables.com. If interested, STL files can be obtained at cgtrader.com where users can also find links to purchase Gold fan (cgtrader.com) as well as Wood fan.
