Rotating windmill + small house for electronics (f3d file included)

I designed a windmill that rotates using a motor. The windmill can serve as a static model if desired, and the Connector_No_Motor part can be used to attach the wings (though I haven't tested this piece myself). A small shed is located beside the windmill where electronics can be housed if needed. The motor used in my design is a 24V DC motor with 3800 RPM output speed. It's available on Sourcing Map. Originally, I found an old motor from a printer that wasn't ideal but was what I had available. A GIF of the windmill can be viewed here: https://gfycat.com/violetcookedcod. Please don't use lit candles in the model; I used LED lights instead. The windmill can be printed independently if desired. The top and body are connected with glue. The door shown in the picture is from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:596223). A Fusion 360 file has been included for anyone who wants to make modifications. The windmill looks great with lights inside, possibly suggesting the addition of LED's within the windmill and using the shed to store batteries and switches. As a miniature model, I'm unsure if it will work, but feel free to try. My only concern is that the rectangular pattern on the wings may become too small, as well as the railings. These can be modified in Fusion 360. Important: When printing the shed, use support from the build plate. The railing can be printed without support, but there's a lot of bridging, so I recommend using support.
