HAWT Wind Turbine Is Mostly 3D Printed:

Wind turbines are a great source of renewable energy, and a great DIY project, too. They can be built with all kinds of materials and the barrier for entry is low for the beginner. [Fab] has built just such a device, taking advantage of modern construction techniques, and dubbed it the WinDIY.

[...] [Fab]'s writeup goes into great detail on topics like the design of the pitch control systems and other minutae, which should serve as a great reference for anyone else working on a similar project. If you're looking for something with more of a sci-fi future vibe, consider attempting a vertical-axis build instead.

[HAWT - Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine]
