Summary

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine VAWT

A beautiful wind turbine (Ø245mm x 800mm). Intended for balcony and low windspeed use.

Designed for my Ultimaker 2+ (max build volume, big nozzle, high printspeed).

Of course you can print it on every, big enough printer. I recommend to use a big nozzle (0.6mm for „Flügel 8x.stl“ with Vase Mode, 0.8mm for the rest)
