Wind Turbine for hoverboard motor- Version 1.1 12-24V by MikRobi

Custom Designed Wind Turbine - Version 1.1  12-24V

The following description will help you understand the plans for my custom-designed wind turbine. The project is based on a hoverboard motor, which serves as the generator. Most of the parts can be 3D printed, and further versions of the design are under continuous development.

Basic Information for Printing

• Minimum printing height: 250 mm
• Recommended material: PETG (for heat and weather resistance)
• Infill density:
  • All parts except the blades require 100% infill to avoid breakage.
• Layer height: 0.2 mm
• Supports: Not required for printing the turbine body.

Component Details

Commutator Slip Ring

• Material: Commercially available 3/4-inch copper pipe
• Carbon brush: 8x8 mm, preferably with bronze content

Bearings

• The body houses two 6002 bearings.

Shaft

• The vertical shaft needs to be machined on a lathe.
• The hoverboard motor shaft must be shortened to accommodate the carbon brush holder.

Blades

• Printing instructions: At a layer height of 0.2 mm, pause the print at the 62nd layer (12.48 mm) to insert an M6 nut into the designated hole.
• Number of bottom shell layers: 150 (approximately 30 mm)
• Number of top shell layers: 130
• Infill density: 5-15%
• Infill pattern: Honeycomb
• Wall count: 4
• Recommendation: Print all six blades simultaneously (e.g., using a raft) to ensure that any layer error affects all blades equally. This is crucial for maintaining balance.

General Notes

• Hoverboard motors are not uniform, so minor dimensional differences may occur.
• The blades and blade mounting disk should be installed in place of the motor's tire.

This is the summary of the first, Version 1.0 release. The designs will be continuously updated to introduce more precise and easier-to-build solutions.
