Folding Hand Fan Palm (Mini)

This mini palm fan is great for hand bags and other portable storage devices. It operates the same way as a paper fan and can be folded and unfolded with ease. It's designed to fit on a Prusa/Bambu A1 mini (180mm x180mm) bed size without supports or brims. Theoretically, it can be scaled up in the XY direction to get a larger fan, but you will start to run into issues if it gets too big.

Compatible with left and right handed operation.

No glue or tape required.

Total Print Time: ~2hr 41min

Total Filament Used: 15.56g

The assembled fan is 175mm wide x 140mm long x 42mm tall (width when collapsed).

It works well with standard PLA, however, If you want to leave one in your car I'd recommend PETG or high temp PLA. It should work well with other materials as well.

Filament used:

• Polymaker PLA Jungle Green
• Polymaker PLA PRO Army Beige

Multicolor printing is not needed for this model.

Ironing 

(Recommended for the blades but optional for the handles. I found the handles look better without ironing but may require some light sanding if no ironing is used. Using the provided printing speeds may eliminate the need for sanding and or ironing.)
