The creator of this design can be found at thingiverse.com, specifically on the page for project number 2745063. Printing this model is a relatively straightforward process, but it does result in slightly lower efficiency when compared to other options. One notable feature of this wind turbine's construction is its exceptional stability and light weight, both of which are due to its unique wave-like shape. As a result, the turbine begins to rotate even in very light breezes. The model's wings are just 0.8mm thick, making them well-suited for printing with a 0.4mm nozzle while using vase mode. Additionally, this windmill has been designed to be printed upside down. This design is intended for use with two 608 ball bearings and requires users to rotate the print by 180 degrees mid-process. To ensure optimal results, it's recommended to print at a low speed.
