As for reversing the blade, I managed to design a fan that only really works in one direction. If its reversed, it pushes air sideways instead
I went back to the drawing board and started over from scratch, this time taking into account how it would be mounted and which direction it needed to turn. This is what I came up with:
(The weird treebranch stuff is supports for the printer, so it all remains appropriately attached to the build plate and the model).
It’s printing now.
Fun trivia: the filament based FDM print of the first model was done on a friend’s printer, and printed out fully in about 7 hours.
The SLA resin print I’m currently running, despite being exactly the same size model, will take ten minutes shy of 18 hours, which is why I had my friend print it! Flip side is my resin print will be much smoother. To flip to the third(?) side, my resin print will also not be anywhere nearly as tough.
