Sandcastle Spinner/Wind Vane
This is a small wind vane and spinning propeller designed to be placed into the top of a sandcastle, flowerpot or on a tabletop using a standard recycled soda bottle (please see photos). The only other extra things you need is your trusty superglue and a BBQ stick/skewer. I use the cheap bamboo ones of about 4mm. This can be cut to the length desired and shaved/sanded down to fit if necessary.
These look great on top of a sandcastle, instead of the shop bought windmills (sorry no beach photos currently). Print what ever colour you like, or mix the colours up to have a multicoloured sandcastle spinner. These look great in a row of three or more and usually gets the admiration of the other beach users, and is great at discovering those other 3D printer fanatics out there.
This will also looks great in the top of plant pots or as part of a table top design when attached to a bottle or put into some floral oasis. Please add your photos here of your builds to show what you have used it for.
This model takes a couple of hours to print, but can be printed without supports (yes on my mini+ even the prop and its spindle print without brims or supports. There is no guarantee that this will work on your set up however). I use PLA and provide the G Code and individual files for multicolour printing or just in case one part fails.
I hope you like it and please leave a comment and a photo to show use all your differnt colourful varieties.
Assembly
The assembly of this model is quite straight forward, but have included some photos above to help in this task. A tip for when gluing the prop onto the spindle is to put the spindle into the fuselage first and then holding it in place with a pencil or skewer add glue to the tip and push the propeller on, making sure that once stuck the propeller and spindle spin freely. Sometimes a little glue can get between the prop and fuselage, but I find that it just needs a twist to free them. Be careful how much glue you use here! You only need a drop.
I hope you enjoy this creation and thumbs up if you like it, and post photos of your prints.
