I've had a functional 3D printer for about a month, and this is my first complex construction. I’m entering it in the “Catch the Wind” challenge.

The rotor turns nicely in a light to moderate breeze. The planetary gears provide a 3:1 reduction to the 12 bubble wands dipping into the reservoir, and helps prevent violent splashing in a strong breeze. The fact that the wands go in the opposite direction as the blades gives a nice esthetic.

Additional materials include:

* 4mm Corrugated
