3D printing files

In the past year, I've been accumulating files that I send to a friend's 3D printer to test them out.
My purchase of a nice 3D printer as a Birthday Present to me :-), went south when we had to replace the faithful van.
However, I do still have the SRTs and all of them are marked as free by the inventor/maker.
I might try to load them here along with a link to the maker's U-tube account.
He's no longer among the living , but I did get explicit answers from him and later his brother about sharing these, to the affirmative.
I was a one point trying to get him to join as a member to the old forum, but when that started looking shaky I opted to stop bugging him about it.

Since they're up on "thingiverse" I could merely post his user account name so anyone can grab them.

Cheers

Go for it! I have been debating 3d printing the rotor blades in segments, use a metal spar to slide them on... I can print 18 inch high parts...

Now that the overtime for area Events is over for the rest of this month, I'll begin sorting them into various types.
The one I currently have being printed is a serpentine coil winder.
This looks to be something I will use to make use of all the 26-32AWG wire I have available to me.
Building these cute little windmills will certainly NOT charge much more than a 2 in parallel 18650 battery bank for lighting my LED strips in front of the house.
BUT they'll be fun projects nonetheless.

I have been tossing around doing a smaller 36" tall vertical mill... as windy as it is here it should give me reasonable charge to keep my batteries topped off in winter when solar falls off some days. And I can pass it off as yard art LOL
