Sternwheel

thingiverse

This design serves as a sternwheel prototype for a paddle steamer akin to the OPITEC Mississippi-Lady. To fabricate a complete wheel, the "sternwheel_wheel.stl" file must be printed four times, alongside the "sternwheel_axle_side.stl" and "sternwheel_axle_middle.stl" files, which each require two prints. The number of required "sternwheel_paddle.stl" parts hinges on motor power - either eight or sixteen are needed. Axles must be joined to wheels through adhesive, while paddles are designed for snap-in functionality, potentially necessitating some cleaning.
