The MkII Wind Turbine from 3dprintable1 is an excellent model but have taken to upgrade some of the components.

The original plans files are found at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2060281

The first change is the crank arm which holds the turbine blades on.

Improvements are:

  • creation of a hexagonal recess to allow capture of an M5 bolt head to prevent rotation (without gluing)
  • increase in shaft width to mate better with the bearing's interior surfaces.

---Version 3---
Made the 'tube' wider on the outside and tighter on the screw width.

Changed the hex head size to be tighter.

All changes are incremental in nature.
