Fully printable, easy to assemble windmill for your garden.

 

V2 released!

I added a simple mechanism to make it follow the direction of the wind, made the tolerances a bit looser and some other minor changes.

 

You can use a 608 bearing for the propeller, but you can also 3d print it. I used this model: https://www.printables.com/model/410574 

The size is small enough to fit on almost any 3d printer (biggest part is 130mm wide).

It uses a 3d printed peg to secure into the ground.

All parts are designed to be held in by friction.

Propeller: 
  • 3 walls
  • 5% infill
  • no support
Everything else:
  • 2 walls
  • 15% infill
  • no support

Print everything as oriented, use a brim if needed on the body and leg. The tolerances are a bit tight, so let me know if I should change them.
