3D Printing

Anemometer parts freshly printed in orange PETG on a textured plate

Material​

The WindNerd anemometer is designed using PETG filament, a very common plastic that is easy to print, even on basic 3D printers, while providing good resistance to outdoor conditions. The parts are specifically designed to be printed without supports or a raft; in fact, the standard settings provided by your slicer should work perfectly fine. If you experience adhesion issues, consider upgrading to a PEI textured plate, as PETG adheres very well to it.

warning

Avoid PETG-HF, as parts printed with this filament lack the dimensional accuracy required for properly fitting the bearings.

The print times indicated in this documentation are measured on a modern printer such as a Bambulab A1. Expect longer times on older printers; the parts are nevertheless designed to print reliably on any machine.
