[image] drifkind: fan. Would love to see that turbo-encabulator… they are very rare!

Nice make. Could you please share lifetime when it breaks? I am trying to find out more statistical data about fatigue of 3D printed models and your model looks like 3D printed right?

Hi Thx for feedback. Let me explain motivation behind my request. 3D printed parts do not have isotropic properties. Your fan as well if is 3D printed. Strength of 3D printed part is larger in plane of layers than in between layers in Z. If you recall fatigue curves for homogenous and isotropic m…

For those of us that have never seen a turboencabulator: [image]

OMG…. Google what is tuboencomfabulator and got this.:joy::joy::joy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac7G7xOG2Ag
