I love Wind Spinners. I've designed / 3D printed several. I saw this cardinal design on Amazon ( https://amzn.to/2RLLVHN ) and made it to be 3D printed and to fit on the Prusa i3 MK3 build plate.
The design uses two opposing sets of wings. The airfoils aim the opposite directions.
The support rods are pretty flimsy for heavy winds. I found some 6mm carbon rods that are much stiffer ( https://amzn.to/3hCsY4L )
Supplies:
- red ABS ( https://amzn.to/2RSx5z7 )
- white ASA ( https://amzn.to/32FjTUD )
- 6mm carbon fiber rods ( https://amzn.to/3hCsY4L )
- Premiere Kites ( https://amzn.to/2ZJbOfO )

I printed the support rod and wing shaft at 100% infill. The other parts I printed at 15%. I used Acetone to glue the shaft, spacers, and end caps. Since I did not use support material for the cardinal main body, I had to ream out the holes with drill bits
