Windpump and wind turbines easy print

Easy to print Windpump and wind turbines. Some details have been changed for looks/ printability. The windpump (center) would be appropriate over most of the world from about 1860-on (these are still made and still in common use). The maintenance platform is a little oversized to allow a standard base to balance on it.

The VAWT (right) And standard wind turbine (left) are appropriate for late 20th century onwards.

I found a pile of 50g color sample spools, so get excited for weird color test prints for awhile 🙂

Image is of models printed in 1/52 with 3dbreed figure for scale.

The standard files are designed to print AS-IS on filament, no additional supports required.

The “resin” files are for those of you that are printing with resin printers and would prefer the assembled models. Resin files are not pre-supported unless otherwise noted.

Please remember that unless otherwise noted these models are uploaded at 1/100, and you need to scale it to match your preferred play-scale.
1/72= 139% (“standard” 20mm)
1/64= 156%
1/56 = 179% (“standard” 28mm)
1/52 = 192% (my preferred scale for 28mm heroic)
1/48 = 208%
Should you have any trouble with them, please feel free to contact me.
