Published description
Purpose
This model is a folding propeller designed for use in RC planes, such as the Nucking Futs printable pylon racer.
Practical Uses
The designer used upscaled versions of the Nucking Futs pylon racer with these propellers. When printed with PLA or PETG, the designer reported the propeller can withstand several hundred Watts of input power. The designer suggests PA-CF as a potential material.

Printing and Assembly Guidance
To achieve maximum strength, the designer recommends printing with 10 perimeters so that layer lines are oriented along the perimeters, specifically at the blade root. The leading edge of the blade should face the print bed. The designer advises testing the propeller with more power than will be used in final operation and warns not to stand beside or in front of the propeller during initial testing due to the risk of blade separation.
