Celebrate a massive milestone in renewable energy with this model of the S2000 SAWES (Stratosphere Airborne Wind Energy System). The real-world S2000 recently made history as the world’s first megawatt-class airborne turbine to connect to a power grid from 2,000 meters in the air. This model captures its unique aesthetic and groundbreaking engineering.
Design Features
- To maintain the futuristic look of the real unit, the central airship body is printed in place, suspended within the turbine ring.
- The aerodynamic fins are designed to press-fit around the outer ring for a clean, seamless finish.
Assembly Instructions
- Gently move the suspended airship body after printing to free it from the plate.
- Press-fit the wings into the slots around the perimeter of the turbine ring.
- Use the printed joint to align the tail with the rear of the airship body to finish the model.
For the best result, use white PLA Tough+.
