Blue Jay Wind Spinner Toy

prusaprinters

<p>I love Wind Spinners! I got some Blue ABS in the mail today. I like how the two winged cardinal came out, so I designed the body of a Blue Jay. I can't wait until my Prusa Multi-media adapter arrives. Then I can better color the wind spinners.</p><p>The design uses two opposing sets of wings. The airfoils aim the opposite directions.</p><p>The support rods are pretty flimsy for heavy winds. I found some 6mm carbon rods that are much stiffer ( <a href="https://amzn.to/3hCsY4L">https://amzn.to/3hCsY4L</a> )</p><p>Supplies:</p><ul><li>Blue ABS filament ( <a href="https://amzn.to/2HkTlQg">https://amzn.to/2HkTlQg</a> )</li><li>6mm carbon fiber rods ( <a href="https://amzn.to/3hCsY4L">https://amzn.to/3hCsY4L</a> )</li><li>Premiere Kites ( <a href="https://amzn.to/2ZJbOfO">https://amzn.to/2ZJbOfO</a> )</li></ul><p>As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I printed the support rod and wing shaft at 100% infill. The other parts I printed at 15%. I used Acetone to glue the shaft, spacers, and end caps. Since I did not use support material for the main body, I had to ream out the holes with drill bits</p>
