Now that you have your 3D models designed and arranged, it is time to bring them to life. We will use a 3D printer to produce the generator components with the exact dimensions needed to fit the magnets, bearings, and wires.

• Some components may take longer to print than others! Plan a few days in advance if you only have one 3D printer available.

• Explore the settings in your 3D printing software. Adjusting features like print speed, raft height, infill, and more can make it easier to manage your models.

• Carefully detach prints from their build plates and rafts. Use tweezers as needed to refine poorly printed areas. Sometimes it takes a bit of craftiness to prepare your printed parts for assembly.
