Pelton wheel
thingiverse
The material for fabricating this Pelton wheel's impulse turbine is crucial, as it determines its scale, size, and power. Generally, printing the object in plastics like PLA is common, followed by molding to cast it in stronger materials such as metal or resin. Overhangs might necessitate support material depending on your printer type. Post-processing may be required for smoothing certain profiles based on your printer's resolution. This design adjusts according to the power needs of a Pelton wheel, water jet flow rate and pressure. It is inspired by Tobias Schneider's work.
