A modern helical wind spinner inspired by turbine geometry, orbital motion, and flowing aerodynamic forms. This design evolved through multiple iterations focused on balancing visual motion, airflow, structural rigidity, and real-world FDM printability. The final result uses an open rib-cage style helical structure that creates a woven vortex effect. The open center and twisted ribs create constantly shifting highlights and shadows as the spinner rotates in the wind. Can be scaled up to 150% in slicer. NOTE: Increase infill for added weight. This is VERY lightweight as-is.
