E3D+VET exercise: Wind Turbine

myminifactory

This exercise is part of a 30-part series developed during the E3D+VET program, an Erasmus+ initiative focused on immersing VET centers in 3D printing technology (visit https://www.e3dplusvet.eu/ for more information). The model comprises 10 distinct pieces printed in 3D. The largest components to be printed are the blades, each consisting of three solids joined together to form a single unit. The blades are designed with a C-shape and linked to one another via two connectors. These triangular-shaped connectors feature internal spaces that enable the connection of the blades. This structure is further secured by opposing holes in the connectors, which allows it to be connected to the central axis formed by three interconnected pieces. The entire system is stabilized by a circular gasket placed beneath the last connector, and the structure is anchored to a base for balance purposes.
