Pelton wheel/water wheel by CKetner

This is a water wheel with a few slight improvements, I created it for an engineering class that I was taking. It is your basic water wheel design with a few Pelton wheel additions. You can see Pelton wheel images on this website: https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Pelton_turbine
You will see that it may not have been the best representation of the cups however it does well when you test it.
I would add supports to the cups if you are printing it all at once.
It has a 2mm hole in the middle.
If you are printing the separate pieces you can just use super glue to attach the cups.
You also may want supports under the middle section unless your printer is really good at overhangs.
