This was designed with the idea that I could put it in the middle of the garden, turn it on, and get water to every plant in the garden without moving it. I did mine in PLA, and used a servo retention screw like this:

You'll notice the spinner is flat on the bottom of each blade. That's so that you don't have to run with any support; the blades don't start somewhere out in the air. It's a 45-degree angle, so most printers should be able to print it fine.
