Not really a remix... I have reduced it to 75% size and added alignment pin holes and a center hole for a 1/4" wood dowel.
From the original Thing - Wind Turbine: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3095317
I made these three years ago and they have broken several times due to UV light, storms (high wind) and rough handling.
These will spin in a very light wind and I discovered accidentally that birds do not like them.
I have them hanging from a handrail to keep birds from perching and crapping on the handrail.
The spinner tips are weak and I have now added a file for tip reinforcement. This is shown in the video listed below.
It is quite difficult to align the two halves for gluing so I have added holes for 3mm bamboo alignment pins.
They have frequently broken at the joint seam so I have added a center hole for a 1/4" dowel which will hopefully help reinforce the joint.
Holes were added to the original stl file using negative volumes in PrusaSlicer.
