Good to know I’m not the only one.
My idea was that both pitch, blade weight and backsweep have an effect on this.
I was thinking about embedded magnets to achieve similar effect as you.
Thanks for the explanation!
Maybe the asymmetrical blades in my Flipsky prop cause it not to open, therefore caused it to vibrate till it fully opened.

I am looking for a way to protect the motor outside, can you add please an example link to such spray? Because I find only etching polymer or simple heat resistant paint…
I used this on some motors: VHT Satin Black Epoxy All Weather Aerosol (312g) - Frost Auto Restoration Techniques

Thanks Jezza, will look into this and definetly add a coat of paint will make it look much better!
@Bzhwindtalker I’m quite pleased with the opening, there’s a bit of friction in between the 3d print and the blades but definetly my fault for not adding enough clerance.
Blades are circa 11 grams each and there’s like 0.2 grams difference in between them. I didnt bother balancing them wahtsoever and they were felt very good. I used chopped carbon from R&G composites wich is very siminar to the easycomposites carbon linked somewhere on your thread.
Mould is a three part compromising top, bottom and a perimeter. This last one is a single piece and had to reprint for doing 3 blades, a split perimeter making a total of 4 moulds will be the way to go in order to reuse them. There’s a 3mm pin I insert for getting the screw hole.

I also have had good luck with the VHT paint.
