el toro wind spinner whirligig

thingiverse

Based on the El Toro Sailboat. (http://www.eltoroyra.org) This project requires a total of 1,608 bearings, 2 wires measuring 6.25 inches each for the masts, and string to hold everything together. The parts are glued in place, requiring some precision and care to assemble correctly. Initially, the bearing was quite loose, so I wrapped the parts with tape to secure them snugly in place. This is a temporary fix, and I plan to update the design at a later date to provide a tighter fit from the start. For reference, the original loose designs can be found in base_loose.stl and caphub_loose.stl. Check out this YouTube video for a visual representation of the project: https://youtu.be/wBTcJ3YlzD0
