Daisy Pinwheel

Daisy pinwheel to use as a garden decoration and as a kid's toy.
The daisy has eight, slightly angled petals that act as windmill blades.

When assembled the daisy is 29.5cm in diameter and, with optional extensions, up to 62cm tall.

Prints without supports and easy to assemble.

Mix and match colors by printing petals using different filaments.
Daisies shown in the picture were printed using Bambu Lab's PLA filaments:

• PLA Basic Bambu Green
• PLA Basic Red
• PLA Basic Yellow
• PLA Matte Ivory White

Assembly instructions

While supporting the back, connect the pin of the center-hub to the hole at the top of the handle.

Insert the eight petals on the hub.

Add one or more connectors and extension for a longer handle.

For smoother operation you can add a drop of oil at the base of the center-hub's pin, but it is not necessary.

General 3d Printing Tips

• Make sure your printing plate is clean! Oils from your skin can cause adhesion issues for your prints. Regularly wash your print plate with a detergent like Dawn, and avoid touching the surface when removing prints from the bed.
• If it's an option on your printer, always level the bed before each print. If you have to perform this manually, do so after every few prints. It takes a bit of time and patience, but it's a fair trade for reliable results.
• Ensure bed and nozzle temperatures are within the expected range for the material you're printing. Temperatures that are too high or too low can negatively affect the print, causing warping, malformed layers, or adhesion issues.
• Reduce your printing speed. Slower speeds are especially important for overhangs, as they give the material more time to cool as it's deposited.
