📦 Description This wind station is a modular 3D‑printable project designed to display bothwind direction andwind speed. The design consists of7 main parts, all optimized for FDM printing and fully assemblable without supports. Note: Despite the built‑in tolerances, depending on your printer, filament, and print quality, the rotating parts may move more or less smoothly. 🧩 Components ***BaseA** – lower support ***BaseB** – upper base for the column ***Colonna (Column)** – central element that houses the rotor and arrow ***Arrow** – directional arrow mounted on the upper shaft ***AsseRotante (Rotating Shaft)** – vertical pin that allows the arrow to rotate ***Tripale (Three‑Blade Rotor)** – rotor that spins around the column ***Anello (Ring)** – rotating support for the Tripale ⚙ How It Works Thedirectional arrow rotates freely thanks to a vertical shaft with wide tolerances, ensuring smooth movement even on less‑precise printers. Thethree‑blade rotor is mounted on a ring that wraps around the central column. This ring rotates around the column and is held in place by an integrated shoulder and a retaining ring that prevent vertical movement. 🖨 Recommended Print Settings Material: Marble‑effect PLA for the column; PLA or PETG for mechanical parts Layer height: 0.16–0.20 mm Infill: 15–20% Supports: Required for Arrow, Base, and Tripale Tolerances: Already integrated into the model for smooth rotation 🛠 Assembly Print all 7 STL parts Insert theRotating Shaft into the top seat of theColumn Screw theArrow onto the shaft Attach theTripale to theRing Position theRing around the column in its dedicated slot Attach theColumn toBaseB ConnectBaseA andBaseB to complete the structure 🎥 Exploded Assembly Video The video clearly shows the assembly sequence and how each component rotates. You can attach it directly to the Thingiverse page to help users during assembly. 📁 Included Files BaseA.stl BaseB.stl Colonna.stl Arrow.stl AsseRotante.stl Tripale.stl Anello.stl 🔧 Customization M
