About this model
Stick it on a flower pot to amaze everyone! UPDATE V2.5: Improved Handle. 50% Thinner blades to offer less wind resistance. New e-clips for better construction. Design: The other day I saw a big metal pinwheel at a local museum that created a cool optical illusion when it rotated, I loved it... I returned home and began to work on my own printable design. It took many prototypes but I think I nailed it. The special twin blades rotate on opposite directions when the air hits them. The handle has a hole that fits a standard pencil so you can make it longer and stick it on your garden. Check out my other designs here: Article from 3dprint.com:
