Micro centrifugal air blower for 6mm pager motor

thingiverse

I crafted this micro air blower to team with a compact smoke generator for my model boat project. It leverages a 6mm pager motor, and I was thoroughly impressed by its airflow so I decided to share it with others. NOTE - Please segment the STL file in your slicing software as the components are not aligned on the same Z axis - this was due to inadequate drawing practices on my part and Sketchup's limitations. I printed mine at 0.1mm layer height using PLA, then hot glued the parts together. You might need to refine the edges of the holes to accommodate the pager motor (depending on your printer). The impeller blade is merely friction-fit onto my motor, but you may require some fiddling or a dab of glue to secure it properly.
