Parametric Thurster Prop - 3D Printed - editable CAD file

Post by ThunderKeep »

Hey All, found this in my search for props I could 3D print, Its a Thingiverse design for a prop that has the same thrust FWD or REV, the best part is the designer uploaded the OpenSCAD file so you can edit the diameter, pitch angle, # of Blades etc to your own specs. You will need to download the OpenSCAD program to edit but its free and looks easy enough.

I havent had a chance to print one and try it myself but I have it on the list to do as soon an my motors arrive and I can start planning hubs.

Pretty cool you'll have to let us know how it works... I'd try it myself but I have way to many projects going already.

Blue Robotics had a 3D printed prop I've been meaning to try too. It doesn't have the same thrust in both directions but it might be worth a try.
