Dutch Windmill

This Dutch windmill has been designed in such a way that it can be 3D printed on an FDM 3D printer without the use of support material. Only the 6 RAILING parts need a small support pillar on one of the ends.

The BLADE parts can be printed flat and can easily be set at an angle afterwards if printed in PLA. Just hold them in 40°C water and you will be able to bend them gently.

The windmill is designed to be motorized using the following 12V DC motor that you can buy at Conrad or Aliexpress etc.

NOTE: This DC motor can be dimmed using a PWM dimmer, but this will reduce the motors life significantly! When using a 1:200 transmission the rotation speed of the windmill will be very realistic when running on 12V.

Once you have printed all the parts it will be very obvious how they will fit together, but if you hav
