I wouldn’t put it in the deepest point. Still put it on the mast. Still the front wing as the first edge. Only twist the common motor Position 180 degree. Better balancepoint as the main advantage. But maybe not worth it, even its not such a big deal. Excluding the design and print of the special prop.

I believe that’s the answer to your question.
Very smart engineers, design professionals working for the big firms such as Lift, Flite etc.
If your idea had merit they would have done it already.
Rather than propose a lot of ideas why don’t you take on one - build it and share the results?
I don’t know what prop you are asking about?
Please give a little thought about how and what you post. You ask a LOT of questions but don’t seem to actually work on anything yourself.
Of course I mean the prop above, whats wrong with you my friend? What do you think a forum is for?
What do I think.
Intelligent exchange of ideas,
Demonstrating ability to make something with the goal of helping others.
Sharing knowledge of projects you have relevant knowledge of.
IMO that does not include having to guess what someone is asking about.
IGNORE ON. I find your posts tiring!

I think facebook should be your forum. There you find a lot people with the same interests like yourself. Main target of you seems bashing people. Found some similar posts from you and also some try of building a battery for a fliteboard with trash inside and not waterproof . As a nice guy, here is a good link to help you out. And surely save you and your board from burning down. You will also find my solution for a diy fliteboard battery there. Maybe you didn’t find before.
Please do not bother me again. If you not interested in my posts leave them without comment by the side, I will do it with yours from now on.
Luckily every other guys here are fabulous and outstanding and know how to behave. Never had any situation like that before. Thanks to all of you, for all your help and good ideas. Keep going.

Hey everyone,
I used 3d Scan of a propeller inspired by the Flite Prop and adapted it for use with a standard threaded shaft, such as the Flipsky 65161 motor.
I’m not sure about the legal stuff of sharing a Flite style propeller - could this be an issue? I want to avoid getting in trouble.
If you’re interested, let me know!
Best wishes from Hamburg,
Tolga

You say you designed it? Looks like the 3d scan someone provided on the forum and then made the appropriate mods for the mounting.
No, it’s just an adaption for the threated Shaft, but it works great. I really liked the propeller and found it a shame that there wasn’t an adaptation, yet.
Here we go:

have only digitally copied, don’t have axis to a 5 axis machine, was wondering if anyone would print in glass filled sls, see how they hold up

That’s awesome that you’re sharing this—great work! How did you achieve such high quality? Did you do any post-processing, or did you create a model from the scan?
I’m planning to experiment with different propellers and compare their performance using data.
I’ve also scanned the FD prop but haven’t shared it yet. I had one printed in aluminum via Craftcloud, though I haven’t tested it yet. Initial impressions suggest the FD prop is significantly weaker.
I also received a standard prop printed in SLS nylon with glass fiber—see the picture. I’m unsure whether a prop as thin as the FD one would be strong enough when printed in plastic…
At $10 per aluminum blade, what is the point to use nylon?
BTW the regular prop is $20 per blade, because it is bigger. Then nylon-gf makes sense

so I tried scanning it with my iPhone, and obviously that didn’t work, went on to the propeller generator site and played around with the settings for an evening, printed about 20 propellers till I got it right, the base I just made and added in fusion together. currently don’t need propellers but I just went on craft cloud and saw the pricing for multiple and that is indeed a deal, previously I was just looking at a qty of 1 and figured it wasn’t worth it
would be interested to know if I got it right compared to yours, either way I figured its an actual propeller generated and not scanned with ill information, I wish I had a 20k laser scanner

Hi, where do you find this alu blades for 10$ each please ?
Tks a lot
And use this code to receive 10% off: REFR41UR6OV
I selected deburred finish. It is pretty smooth, but it can be sanded easily as well later to get even smoother finish.
If you want the model I have used, write me in private.

I tried on the @leachim folding blade, deburred finish. China production, for 10 items, I get 17€ per piece, (16.8 if 20 items) should be 15,3€ with your 10% discount … without tax (plus 18€ shipping to Europ)… How do you get 10usd. Maybe your design is more simple (no damper).
Material — Aluminum (SLM / DMLS)
Finish — Deburred
Color — Gray
WIKI: Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), also known as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM), is a metal 3D printing technology that selectively fuses a fine metal powder in aluminium or stainless steel.
Exactly!
So here is the thing:
Our regular prop is larger therefore costs more, I saw it as well. Therefore I ordered it only in SLS.
I 3d printed aluminum FD like prop.
According to Craftcloud, @leachim blade dimensions = 75.01 × 39.93 × 37.24 mm
What are the dimensions of the FD like one ?
When do you think you could compare both props in the water, startup and Wh/km ?
Size different and pitch is different.
The characteristics of various props are under investigation.
So far I can tell that regular prop operates at 2800rpm, demands more current and provides more power.
Flipsky aluminum prop operates at 3800 and requires less current.
FD 2 blade operates at 3600, requires less current, but provides less power.
6384 Ali 120kv motor.
Intending to test lower kv when I get such motors and 3 blades fd.

@TolgaFreediver Flite clone is 109€ +shpg in aluminium using SLM/DMLS (103€ if x10 pieces). Is it worth it knowing the molded rigid composite one costs 30€ wo tax ?
