Description
Wanted to experiment with a broken ceiling fan before we did our renovations, my attempt at modeling the fan arm and my own kind of fan blade that fits the standard fan arms as well as the custom design. *PRINT IN A DURABLE MATERIAL OR COAT AFTERWARDS IF YOU CONSIDER USING
This is an experiment gone right and would not recommend having this installed in your home unless you are VERY AWARE of what you are doing. Any improvements welcome. There is room for improvement I feel with the connection of the 2 bolts to the spine of the arm, as well as the pitch of the blades. * May need tweaking depending on the size of your housing and speed of motor. To combat some strength concerns, there is a 2nd profile with the arm oriented on its side with default supports painted on. This provides extra strength but at a cost of 70 or so grams and 2 hrs.
Print Settings
- 90% infill for the arm piece and can print with 100% with a different infill option
- Ceiling fan arm with 2 print profiles
- Blades at 20% infill, while the pegs for the blades are at 100% and can adjust the weight as you see fit
Printed with 0.6mm nozzle
Assembly
- Assembled with standard hardware that came with my ceiling fan but can purchase your own for much cheaper than an entire fan, although this is just *an experiment gone right and put this up at your own risk.
- Screw in the 3 blade screws with a drill at a slower speed to avoid stripping the threads but tightens well
- Fan Blades: CAN GLUE PEGS TOGETHER, I have not done this personally as the tolerances are tight and holding as of now with the fan running but is smart to avoid any flying objects.
Parts
- Hardware can be purchased from Home depot and other hardware stores as listed
