DailyEarring#92:Wind power (rotates & printed in one go)

thingiverse

Next time someone drones on, imagine they're generating wind power. For a fun twist, print the Daily Earring prologue from Thingiverse (thingiverse.com/thing:7120). To ensure success, print the medium version lying flat on its axis. The small version can also work, but be prepared to glue the axis stop if needed. Printing it standing might create a nicer texture, but may compromise structural integrity due to the plastic's alignment with the axis. Use settings of .2mm layer height, fine mode, 5mm raft density, 30-degree support angle, and adjust spacing to around 15mm^2 and 12 lines for optimal results. Carefully peel the print and gently loosen the rotor with a screwdriver or knife, twisting back and forth without applying too much force. If your partner typically uses an earring hook, consider rotating the design by 90 degrees. Adjusting the rotor's proportions can help with printing at smaller scales without risking breakage, as long as thickness is maintained.
