Can anyone help me get a 3d file for it? Need it for a 3d scale model, would save me lots of work at my skill level;)

There is a 3 blade prop on thingiverse designed for the flipsky 65121. Otherwise, many of the other threads have got long discussions on this topic

[https://grabcad.com/library/flite-prop-1](https://grabcad.com/library/flite-prop-1) best result with PLA, or Nylon-CF (PA-CF). Note than it can break at any moment. I ride about 300km and then it broke. To extend its service life, protect it from sunlight

@Bzhwindtalker
@rttn
Have you reached a conclusion about a good blade for 3 blades prop for 6374/6384? If so, can you provide a model?
Did you try the [common blade](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5333943) which is used for 2 blades prop?

The model on my grabcad works well, I am not the original maker of the file.
I ordered those blades in alu printed.
My custom blades by forging had issues on unfold, tolerances or shape, unusre.

Ye, I saw that you ordered alum and tried the forged.
On your grabcad there are have blades, but they seem big.
I thought you also tried the regular small blades…
FD uses same blades for 2 and 3

They are not big blades, 165mm DIA
I think @rttn sent me the blade file. So far I have not recreated a better blade model.
The alu blades have been shipped by pcbway

j’ai voulu chez PCBway le faire usiner en CNC mais ils n’ont pas voulu du fichier. je leur ai demandé de l’imprimer en Alu alors. On verra bien.
I wanted to have it machined in CNC at PCBway but they didn’t want the file. I asked them to print it in Alu then. We’ll see.

Can you share the step file for the blade as well?

I have a “similar” file in step, the one I made my forged blades out of, thinner profile, but unfolding was not as good for some reason (blade area, pitch, backsweep… whatever)
So I reverted to the previous file in stl and custom hub, I think the blade is from @V_S
