3D Printed Wind Vane

[BGKYSmoker]

Printed a wind vane for the top of the chicken coop.

I made a base for it also.

Maybe I can find a file for that.

Pretty cool.
I'd like to have a 3D printer, but don't know what I'd do with it. Haha

 

[Brokenhandle]

Nice wind vane Rick. Pretty cool some of the things you can make.

HA! That's perfect for you, but it match's my bride's chicken coop!

I like that Rick, As long as it does not scare the birds into not laying for you. Ha Ha

Since I know nothing about these printers, I have a question. Do you need a file or can you replicate an existing piece?

When a 3D file is created it is in a STL format. This basically contains the shape of the object. That file can be shared, sold or whatever.

You then take the STL file and use a program to turn it into a GCODE file for your specific 3D printer. This will slice the object into layers that the 3D printer understands.

You can share or download 3D files at thingverse.

Pink for my wifes 5 year breast cancer surviving.

They do have hand held 3d scanners now and makes the stl file for printing.
