Spins smoothly in non-laminar water flow, but needs to increase in diameter, as well as an increase in width of individual blades, so that we can integrate a magnet.

Good start, it will be interesting to see it taking shape.
Re: Water flow meter 2020/1
From the model view provided it looks as if you're creating the bearings as 'spikes' in the support and cups in the impeller (I didn't appreciate that from the photograph), it will be interesting to see how well that spins and holds up to wear when printed, certainly a neat solution.
Re: Water flow meter 2020/1
When we printed the impeller, on of the fans didn't stick properly to the bed, and the spikes were quite blunt. However, we should be able to print on a more accurate printer for the final model.

Looking forward the seeing it in action.

Made needle shaped axle and it spins nicely under the tap.
