About this model
After completing "Whirligig, Pterodactyl", a Youtube follower suggested that I use the butterfly from a previous project of mine and create a butterfly whirligig. Little did he know that I had just completed adapting the butterfly to a whirligig mechanism, and this model, "Whirligig, Butterfly" is the result! I 3D printed my butterfly whirligigs in Tough PLA to assist in withstanding the weather. This whirligig has experienced wind speeds of over 20mph with gusts into the 30s. However, at the end of the day I slide the butterfly off of its mount and take it inside in order to hopefully prolong its life! As usual, I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I do make plenty of mistakes. Designed using Autodesk Fusion…
