Taketombo (Bamboo Dragonfly)

Taketombo - (literally bamboo dragonfly) a Japanese toy made traditionally from bamboo. But we have 3d printers now and we can print the blades in our own custom design to perform as we wish.

Prints fast and easy.  STEP file included- can be modified using CAD programs such as Fusion 360.

Make sure to use PETG and print slow since the blade is thin (the included stl is only 0.6mm single wall).  Use mouse ears brim to prevent lifting of blade end.

I used a 3mm diameter x 150 mm long bamboo skewer as shaft.
