Description
Here I display my new wind spinner Dragondance. Its snake-like spiral bodies catch the wind and make the two kites circle around each other. In the Utube video you can see some of these figures action:
You can scale and paint the piece as you like and get very nice moving objects for your home or garden. It is best to hang the wind chime on a nylon thread, for example, fishing line. This is very stable.
The design is provided with a central blind hole at the bottom, so you can attach the piece to a 4 mm - rod and so you can color, spray or paint it well.
I created 2 STL files. One with the pure object, and one with a pre-made support. These these work very well for me for both FDM and resin printing. PLA or standard resins are suitable for printing. The spinner is about 15.5 cm tall, but you can of course scale it to your liking.
I added a version with a longer tail in March 2024. This way the nylon thread comes over the heads and can't get tangled up so easily in strong winds, in case someone wants to hang the figure out even in heavy winds.
