Thanks to vladua for the great wind turbine. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3627007
I wanted to have the bearing completely below the wind turbine. To do this, I enlarged the bars at the top and bottom and added 8 mm holes. I added a thin layer to the upper hole for better bridging. Since the wind turbine has a small base, I added supports and adhesive discs. For printing, the wind turbine should be turned in such a way that the first layer of the upper end plate bridges briefly. NabeHalter22 fits a 22mm rod, hub fits a 25mm rod or external 40mm clamps. If necessary, the axis can be fixed with M3 screws and nuts using the adjusting ring. I recommend a test print sunk in Z for the hub. Then measure the inner diameter (22.0 mm) and compensate for the possible deviation with a horizontal hole extension (Cura). Hub holder was printed with PETG and the rest with PLA.
An axle 8×310 mm and two ball bearings 608ZZ 8x22x7 mm are required, for the holder 4x cylinder head screws M5x35 with nuts.
If you want, you can glue “Savonius3KlLi” together and attach it to the protruding axle.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
