Summary

Update 12/23/20: I've uploaded a new version of this, with oscillation, optional internal rechargeable battery, and a single-piece 6-wing blade. This version also uses a more common 130-size hobby motor with a gear drive (this makes it a bit noisier).

A vintage-styled mostly printed electric fan. Mine puts out a decent breeze, but is a bit noisy because of the cheap 625 bearing I'm using. It's designed to use a brushed hobby motor - make sure to get a low RPM motor to avoid burning out. Runs great on a 2S LiPo battery or 5-12V supply.

Non-printed parts:

  • 10mm M3 button head bolt - 27pcs
  • 8mm M3 bolt - 4pcs
  • M3 lock nut - 26pcs
  • 16mm or longer M3 bolt (for attaching motor to base)
  • 25mm M5 socket head bolt
  • M5 lock nut
  • 625 Bearing
  • 35mm Nylon Standoffs (alternatively these can be printed)
  • Brushed motor (24 and 34mm diameter mounts provided, cassette deck motors work well) - 1pc
  • Wire for motor, if needed
  • Momentary lever switch (same as the ones in mechanical endstops)
  • Superglue (1 drop on the shaft adapter if it's slipping)
  • Hot glue (for gluing down switch in position)
  • Wires, zipties, etc.
