A 3D printed bladeless fan

I found an interesting 3D model at Thingiverse, but then something happened.

I first saw this model referenced in a Reddit thread, and became immediately interested. The model was a project for a bladeless fan, designed by Thingiverse contributor Helix3D.

This multi-part project requires not only some 3D printed components, but also an electric fan, wiring, rubber feet, power supply and a switch.

What attracted me to this project was the uncanny resemblance to the famous (and pricey) Dyson Bladeless Fan that I’ve often seen for sale in stores. I’ve never bought one myself simply because their price is usually far above what I would pay for a fan. Sure, it’s a terrific looking unit, but in my mind it is overpriced.

Some actual Dyson bladeless fans

Then there was this project on Thingiverse that could, in theory, produce the same kind of fan at far lower cost. And with the fun of building the project, too.

An inspection of the Thingiverse page showed the fan and several downloadable part files. But there was a notice saying “Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress. Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!” Perhaps there was another version?

There was indeed. A section of the entry says:

Version 2 here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1665610

Excellent! I immediately proceeded to the apparently new and improved version.

Where I saw this in a prominent red box:

This Thing is currently under moderation: due to a Notice of Claimed Intellectual Property Infringement. Files and images for this Thing are currently unavailable.

Looks like a problem with this 3D model

Oh oh.

It seems that someone has filed a complaint with Thingiverse regarding the 3D model’s design. Who could that be? Perhaps Dyson themselves? We cannot know, as Thingiverse isn’t saying.

But in retrospect it is not surprising, as Dyson no doubt makes significant coin on their unique bladeless design, and having a free version anyone could make probably isn’t the greatest idea for them. Worse, if they don’t actively protect their design they could be setting a legal precedent that suggests the design doesn’t deserve protection.

This is one reason companies often come down very hard on what might be insignificant uses of their intellectual property. They’re not so much interested in nailing the first offender, it’s instead they’re interested in preventing oceans of subsequent infringers, and larger ones in particular.

Thus Thingiverse has disabled this particular design and there is no ability to download the 3D model files for printing.

Except for one thing.

The original version is still up, alive and distributing the 3D model files.

In this case it appears that Dyson, or whoever filed the complaint, somehow missed the earlier version, or considered it too “far away” from their own design to bother. But I think that latter scenario is unlikely.

The more likely thing is that they simply missed it. And that’s not surprising given the number of 3D model repositories and millions of entries, with countless daily changes.

Searching for infringers must be quite difficult. In this case the poster never used the word “Dyson”, so that would make it more challenging to find. They could search for bladeless, but that could refer to many other things.

Some posters of infringing 3D models disguise their posts through careful management of the descriptive text, and perhaps that happened by accident here. We’ll never know for sure.

Meanwhile, you may enjoy the original bladeless fan design.

How to make your own fan without blades on a 3D printer

Fans without blades blow air through a ring on a stand. Dyson is the company that created the fan without blades and without noise. However, the very term “bladeless” misleads everyone; in fact, they still have blades. A small fan is installed in a stand and pushes air through a thin ring - this is the principle of operation of a bladeless fan.

I'm going to build a simplified version of the original with my own hands. Of course, it will not work as efficiently, but the price is several times less. And you can take a small fan with you anywhere.

Printed on Monoprice Maker Ultimate in PLA, 0.4mm nozzle diameter, heated bed.

Step 1: Product Design

I created a parametric model of my fan in Autodesk Inventor with 3D printing capability. It must be remembered that all the details will eventually be printed. Based on this, I decided to make 3 interconnected parts with a minimum overhang and a large base, so that possible printing or modeling errors would not affect the result. By measuring the diameter of the fan, I got the internal diameter of the base. After finishing designing the parts, I ran a virtual simulation of the assembly to make sure the air intake and exhaust would be unobstructed.

Step 2: Printing Parts

The design of the parts is simple enough that printing went smoothly. This was my first print on a heated bed and I am delighted with the result. The entire printing process took almost ten hours. Due to the fact that one of the parts has a far protruding part, it was necessary to make supports under it. The first photo shows that one of the supports could not stand it and broke. Luckily, my printer can print these protrusions. Trial assembly gave excellent results.

Step 3: Power

Instead of a power cord, I decided to install a connector so that I can power it from the mains and from the battery. Adding a connector hole to a parametric model is easy, but I wasn't sure about the location of this hole and decided to make it on the finished part. Making a hole in the filament is very easy - I just warmed up the soldering iron and melted a hole of the desired diameter in the wall of the part.

Step 4: Fan

Now you need to prepare the fan for installation in the base. I removed parts of the fan housing with a file, leaving only the motor support arms on the impeller (they need to be longer than the blades to leave space between the blades and the wall).

Added later: I used a 5cm computer cooler, but later came to the conclusion that it has too weak a motor, I plan to make a new bladeless desktop fan more powerful.

Step 5: Installing the fan

To properly install the fan in the support, I glued a temporary foam holder to the motor to hold it without fear of breaking while I try on the installation site (the cooler should not block the air intake and touch the walls of the case supports). Then I glued the support arms to the walls with hot glue. When the glue was dry, I removed the temporary holder from the fan and turned it on to see if the gap was still there. After making sure that everything was in order, I connected the wires to the connector and again checked the operation of the engine.

Step 6: Finishing touches

After connecting the wires, I installed the remaining parts in place. Details made according to my layout fit snugly together. But if you want to be sure of the strength of the structure, put them on glue. I then covered the fan with colored vinyl tape to add a pop of color. I am very pleased with the result - the fan is 12.7 cm high, it took only 130 g of filament to manufacture.

Now I'm looking for something to replace the computer cooler. Although it works fine, a simple electric motor has a much higher number of revolutions.

Thank you for taking the time to read my article.

Step 7: Improving the fan

I did replace my weak motor with a more powerful electric motor. The gear from the native motor sat tightly on the shaft, I glued the impeller to it. On the reverse side, I glued a thick washer and inserted the fan back into the base. Now the engine is under the blades, and, accordingly, the old connector is now in the way. While I sealed the hole from him, and brought the reins out through the air intake holes. Later I plan to add an engine holder.

I also think a bigger air intake is needed. I want to either widen the old holes or just drill more holes. Such an upgrade led to the fact that the fan vibrates and "walks" on the table. For depreciation, I applied a layer of hot glue to the bottom. Then I plan to replace the glue with a rubberized material, similar to what mouse pads used to be made of.

Step 8: Drawing files

Above are my part drawings. When converting files to the .stl format, my scaling settings went wrong, which caused the size of the parts to greatly decrease. You will most likely have autoscaling and all sizes will be saved. Compare them with the drawings.

Consider my comments on improving the model. I plan to redo the base based on my notes.
I immediately apologize for the names of the files, the first parts were rejected and deleted by me, and I simply forgot to rename the rest. Please do not forget that this is not a professional model, but a smaller version.
