6" Overshot Waterwheel

Last crawled date: 5 years, 7 months ago
This is an overshot waterwheel, 6" in diameter. It prints as two parts that need to be glued together. I've also included a one-piece model for printers that can handle that. The included Fusion 360 model is parameterized so you can change the divider count, angles, bore size, wall thickness, etc. with a minimum of effort.
This is/was a sample part for a Quora question: https://www.quora.com/I-dont-have-a-3-D-printer-yet-Is-there-anyone-who-would-make-me-6-inch-diameter-x-1-inch-wide-waterwheel-It-has-to-be-an-overshot-designed-wheel-with-3-16-shaft-bore/answer/Elizabeth-Greene-1
I'm not an expert on water wheels; so this design is not optimized. If you have a good resource that explains these I'd love to read it and learn from it. Please leave a comment.
Thanks!
