i like the idea of using the fms blades in a custom hub. Andy, are you able to send the specs of the blade hub if you have a blade lying around? width, length, hole spacing and size.

i used regular pla back then. i know there is other materials available now but i have not done any testing with those.

i see what you mean with the main gear. ill see what i can do.

scaled the gear up a little nicer, what size printer we sizing this for? starting to cut it up for printing

I think the standard is 300x300x400 for the CR-10 and 220x220x350 for the Ender 3.

Prusa I3 Mk3: 250 x 210 x 200

i agree, for this size model 30x30x40 is needed otherwise you'll be printing out 100 parts. see how i go. ill cut it up for the 30x30x40 at this stage and cut it up more as we progress.

Hi Chambo88,

I will be updating the request you have for the Prop Hub and cover do expect a lengthy and detail explanation.

I will explain from Eg. Picture 1, (which means picture uploaded 1st from left to right).

Hope you would get the measurement right.

here it goes,

On the Picture 1, I've measured the Hex Female size, It's 10mm size
On the Picture 2 , I've measured the middle hole for the motor rod side, It's 9mm size

(on Picture 3 & 4, as you can see the Hex design is to lock the Prop Hub in place to have no play for the Prop Hub and the Motor to have a full efficiency while in operation)

On Picture 5, As for the Screw in Main Prop Hub, The proposed Hex nut is measured as, (Proposed to have 14mm Hex Screw)
To glue into the Prop Hub
On Picture 6, The diameter for the Female Hex nut measured 9mm size

So to say, it will be a screw on Mechanism for easy switching when wanted to do maintenance, as well as a overall tight
(As you can see on Picture 7 & 8)

To be Continue.....

cool, thanks for all that. will get onto it 2moro.

This section will be Prop Main Hub and Prop Secondary Cover.

For Picture 9, is the design for the Prop Hub main plate.
On Picture 10, As you can see the Hex Nut diameter measured 6mm, and outer circle 7mm.
From edge to edge measurement, It is 17mm from the beginning outer circle measured to the end outer circle.
On Picture 11, As for the front Prop Hub base, it is measured 20mm *With Flat surface* as you can see in the picture.

On Picture 12, is the design for the Prop Hub secondary plate (cover).
On Picture 13, Measuring from the leading edge, to the end edge of the 2nd screw hole, The measurement measured 17mm
On Picture 14, Measuring from the Leading edge from the First screw hole, The measurement for the Screw hole is 6mm in diameter, and the Hole is 3mm.
On Picture 15, Taking the measurement from the inner flat surface measurement for the Prop, Measured 18mm of Flat surface, and 19mm Round Lip.

On Picture 16, you will see that the flat surface on the Prop Secondary Cover
On Picture 17, you will see Both Hub closed together.

To be continue... (Prop Measurement) on the next Post.....

This section will be the Final, Prop Measurement...

Bare with me here... almost done...

Picture 18, Sorry, I missed the Hex Screw for the Main Hub , Its measured 5mm

Picture 19, Is an Example of a Japanese Prop, Its FMS 13 x 9
Picture 20, 21, & 22 Measuring the L x W x H of the Prop Base, the Measurement as follow, (12mm (L) x 9mm (W) x 18mm (H))
NOTE* Picture 23, is the measurement for the (Length) flat surface for the Prop, Measured 8mm

And....... we are done

That's pretty comprehensive.. love ya work.

shinden is now complete and ready to be printed for testing.

will be setting up factory files 2moro and sending it off to to be tested.

had a bit of fun with a pc based photoshoot to see what it will hopefully look like in the air.

88

here's a pic of the updated main gear door.

the nose gear doors operate on a pair of 2mm pins which will slot in and be glued in place.

Wow! that looks great.

Cant wait!
