NoGlue Giant Optical Windwheel (40cm/15,75" diameter)

I publish my designs for free, please leave me a like if you like my design or even download it - Thank you and take care!

In 2023 I released a remix of an optical illusion wind wheel (original by Dynamite).  I wanted to make the largest optical wind wheel I could print on my Prusa MK3/MK4. In the end it was massive - 40cm (15,75") in diameter but the the built process was some sort of complicated, this bothered me.

In the meantime I released other optical illusion wind wheel designs (e.g. EOS_01) and I gathered more experience by this. In the end I came up with a design, where you have a common base, to which the different wind wheel designs (aka rotors) are screw-fastened on to. No glue is used, this means all the parts can be exchanged for themselves - all the other parts can be reused. So if a rotor wing is broken or the color faded out, you are able to exchange exactly this one rotor wing, the other ones are staying.

This is the major benefit of this design - reusability and easy fixability.

 Redesigned the spinning mechanismen (much easier to built) as well made it a “NoGlue” version. Each part can now be replaced by it's own.
