V2: Completely new concept from scratch. https://www.printables.com/de/model/883864

Credits goes to the original designers for their great work. I used the models to design a visualizer that fits for A1/A1 Mini.

As always, your feedback is very welcome.

Printing:

• Using a 0.2 mm nozzle would be a great advantage, but the profile is optimized so that it can also be printed with a 0.4 mm nozzle as you can see in the pictures
• Changing settings can lead to printing errors, so be careful when changing anything
• When choosing the color, the effect is more visible when the background is lighter than the blades

As the blades are very thin, I had the problem that they were not printable in the middle of the plate. However, this was not a problem in the front area.
 

So if you have the same problem, try placing the model on a different part of the plate.

Assembly

Insert the parts into each other and check whether they can be turned without force Enlarge the hole in the lower part if necessary Use a hair dryer to remove stringing

Stick a few pieces of double-sided adhesive tape onto the housing Now stick the lower part onto the adhesive strips It is designed so that normal adhesive strips can be used, which are slightly thicker Now place the upper part VERY CAREFULLY on the axle of the extruder Press carefully in the middle until the part is firmly attached to the axle If the upper part does not rotate while extruding, it is not properly attached
