E3D+VET exercise: Wind Turbine

thingiverse

This exercise is part of the comprehensive series of 30 training modules developed during the E3D+VET program, an innovative Erasmus+ initiative focused on deepening VET centers' understanding of 3D printing technology. The model consists of ten distinct components produced through 3D printing techniques. The largest print segments are the blades, each crafted from three solid units intricately joined to form a single cohesive piece. Characterized by a distinctive C-shape design, these blades are strategically linked together via two carefully designed connectors. The triangular-shaped connectors feature an internal space specifically engineered for connecting the blades. This intricate structure is further reinforced by opposing holes in the connectors, which facilitate secure attachment to a central axis formed by three interconnected pieces. To ensure stability, a circular gasket is placed underneath the final connector, effectively anchoring the entire assembly.
