Bent Wind Chime Sail with Anti-Spin Vane Wind Chime Replacement Sail

One thing that bothered me about the original Bent Wind Chime Sail was that it could freely spin in even a light breeze. While it looked nice, the constant rotation often reduced the effectiveness of the wind sail and wasn't particularly attractive.

This remix adds a stabilizing vane to the back of the sail. The vane works much like the tail on a weather vane, shifting the aerodynamic center behind the hanging point. Instead of spinning freely, the sail naturally aligns itself with the wind, allowing the wind chime to swing and strike more consistently.

The modification is simple, but it makes a noticeable improvement in how the wind chime behaves outdoors.

Features

• Integrated anti-spin vane

• Direct replacement for many lost or damaged wind chime sails

• Prints as a single piece

• No additional hardware required

• Maintains the clean appearance of the original design

• Improved wind alignment with reduced spinning

Print Settings

• Material: PETG (recommended for outdoor durability)

• Orientation: Print upright as shown in the slicer image.

• Supports: Required beneath the stabilizing vane and lower curve of sail.

• Perimeters: 5

• Infill: 5% Gyroid

• Brim: Recommended because of the small footprint.

The finished part is surprisingly rigid despite the low infill, as most of the strength comes from the five perimeters.

Thanks to the original designer for creating an excellent replacement sail. This remix simply adds a stabilizing vane to improve its performance in the wind.
