Description
Based on the Mini Thunderbolt Siren by J0hn Bingus. This siren has been totally reimagined. It all started with the rotor correcting modeling issue and deciding to put a solid metal shaft through it. From there the only other design element retained was the outlet opening size and the use of pins to hold the horn on. The stator housing diameter has been adjsuted to tighten the gap between the rotor and stator to .5mm to increase efficeny.
From there I utilized a keys to align the models various parts together. This is a close tolerance model. My Bambu X1C has no adjustments to compensate for scaling xy or z and printed this jsut fine and everything fit together snug. The rotor shaft I planned on adding epoxy into the splined hole before inserting the shaft, however the shaft fit snug enough it was not needed.
Please be aware this model excluding the rotor will use a full 1KG of filament. I ran out and used up some low spools on the horn ;)

The Design will allow for other couplers. I was going to do this rigid but I didnt want any bind and went to the spider type: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CH9MDR2G?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
