Personalized "ALEX" Nameplate with Motorized Propeller
Here is a fun and interactive project perfect for the desk of anyone named Alex! This custom 3D-printed nameplate features an original and clever visual trick: the letters "A-L-E" are paired with a working motorized propeller that creatively acts as the letter "X".

It’s a fantastic gift idea for aviation enthusiasts, little engineers, or simply to add a dynamic touch to your workspace.

🛠️ Hardware Requirements (Non-Printed Parts)
To bring this project to life and get the propeller spinning, you will need a few common electronic components:

1x DC Motor (standard hobby/toy electric motor).
1x Battery Holder for 2x batteries (AA or AAA).
(Optional) A small toggle or push-button switch to easily turn the propeller on and off.

Recommended Material: PLA or PETG.
Supports: Generally not needed for the base, letters, and propeller, as long as the parts are oriented correctly on the build plate.
Colors: As seen in the photos, using contrasting colors (e.g., Black base, Silver/Grey letters, Orange propeller) really makes the design pop! Feel free to customize it with your favorite filaments.

⚙️ Assembly Instructions
Print all the components (Base, letters A, L, E, propeller, and motor mount).
Press-fit the letters onto the base. If the tolerances feel a bit loose, use a small drop of super glue to secure them firmly.
Wiring: Connect the wires from the battery pack to the motor terminals. If you are using a switch, wire it in series on one of the cables.
Hardware Mounting: Place the motor and battery pack into their designated slots on the model.
Final Touch: Press the propeller onto the motor shaft, insert the 2 batteries, and power on your name!
