About this model
Update 2: There is now another update that aims at recreating the original blades even more accurate. Therefore I introduced a second bending for the blades. Because the blades are now a surface bent in all three dimensions, the rendering of the model is everything but trivial. Using OpenSCAD to render takes depending on the settings more than 20 minutes! If you don't want to wait that long, you can use the previous file Customizeable_Fan_Blades.scad instead of the new one Customizeable_Fan_Blades_Advanced.scad. Another way to render the model faster is using a server based online service instead of a local OpenSCAD installation. Furthermore I changed from setting an angle to influence the strength of the bowing to setting the bowing radius. The variables are all explained in the comments …
