The creator just wanted to see if it could be done, and the result is a fan that blows out candles from up to three feet away - no problem. If you're feeling adventurous, you can try making one of your own using 3/16-inch steel rod and some superglue as the glue of choice. The print job itself requires printing the fan and the gearbox with supports, then gluing the cowl cover to the cowl and the cowl to the gearbox. The time commitment is significant - it takes about half a roll of one-kilogram filament and days worth of print time. But if you're up for the challenge, the reward is well worth it. One thing to keep in mind is that the gear ratio is around 1:162, which means it requires some serious hand strength and matching infill to get the job done.
