This is a fully printable pinwheel I designed in tinkercad for the #Tinkerfun challenge "The Great Outdoors".
Instructions:
1. Print the "pinwheel-blade" 5x, each in a different color:
red, orange, yellow, green and blue.
It is designed to be printed with 0.1 resolution to make it sturdy and flexible at the same time.
2. Print the "pinwheel-pentagon-eyelet" 2x
0.1 resolution recommendet.
3. Print the "pinwheel-spacer" 1x
0.1 resolution recommendet.
4. Print the "pinwheel-pin" 1x
Print it exactly the way it is orientated on the buildplate (sideways) with supports and a brim to make it sturdy.
0.1 resolution recommendet.
5. Print the "pinwheel-gardenstick" 1x
0.2 resolution is perfectly fine, supports touching buildplate necessary for the pointy tip.
6. (optional) Print the "pinwheel-handle" 1x
0.2 resolution is perfectly fine
Now it's time to assemble it!
Here you can see, how it is done:
I hope you like this creation and have fun with it!

Support only for the "pinwheel-pin" and the "pinwheel-gardenstick" necessary.
The blades, eyelets, spacer and pin should be printed in 0.1 resolution, 0.2 for the gardenstick and the handle.
The prints should fit together without any adhesion.
But each printer is different, so if your prints are too loose, you can add a little super glue to hold them together.
If you want your pinwheel to spin extra fast and easy, sand and polish the "pinwheel-pin" to make it run super smooth.
