Update: As of March 17, 2023, it is still up there and working.

I traced a rooster from google images opened it and 3D' it in TurboCAD. I made it 5mm thick. The rooster itself is about 10IN Tall. I created a Base and a pivot point Mount in CAD. I 3D printed all parts, painted them and mounted them on square stock I made from some scrap maple (Flooring) that someone was tossing out. I put it on the top of my workshop and made sure it was plumb. I waited for the first gust and it worked. Remember it points which direction the wind is coming FROM. Each part took about 2hours to print. I did them in average quality at 100% fill. For this one I used my Ender3 which I bought used for $50. I used Cura to angle and size it to fit on my Ender 3 bed.
I just modified the "Mount". Drill a hole in the center and put a screw or bolt so it is sticking out 3/4". I modified it this way because a wind storm broke the pin in my current mount.
