Toroidal Windmill - Self adjusting turbine
Looks like a spinning flower and no much wind is needed.
YouTube Short - https://youtube.com/shorts/WrKHW2Cdyvk?si=byQ_EpJAfOOy8x7F
Beautiful Windmill with toroidal propellers
Self adjusting to wind direction through the tail blade
100% printed, no Screws or tools needed
You can add 3 Propellers on one Axle with 2 distances
Full customizable with different propeller sizes and directions (I plan to add more cool propeller types as well)
Rods are stack able to your needed height
Added custom support to the horizontal printing rod
Added some “Slower” Propeller Blades
Printing:
Files has the recommend print orientation.
For Propeller set wall generation to "arachne mode" and set walls to 0,7mm
The rod could be a bit difficult to print, i added custom support, but clean your buildplate and apply some glue.
PETG & PLA tested👍
Assembly:
