I am always pondering water wheels and really like the pelton wheel configuration. Your design is awesome! The snap together design simplifies the building as well as the printing.What software did you use to design this? It looks great.
I'm glad you like it! The paddles are designed to snap together to allow changes to be made without adding a lot of expense. I used Solidworks to design the model.
