I have printed the wheel, but when it was at 80% the paddles begun to crack... Will try to print it again with thicker walls and PLA rather than ABS :) thanks for the design!

I could use this water wheel with my little generator! 8-)

What generator is that? I'd be interested in using it for power generation

The cap kind of looks like the Aperture Science logo...

Wow ! the cake is a lie ;)

I'd love to see a watermill house attached to it :)
