95mm EDF

This design was crafted using SolidWorks Professional as a straightforward demonstration of its capabilities and a fun personal project. The duct has two sections that require cleaning, with one layer needing to be cut away and then bonded together. A unique file for the blade was created, allowing it to be printed without support material and requiring some additional refinement. After testing at 12,000 rpm's, there is a brief break-in period for the blades as they initially rub against the duct at high speeds. Exercise extreme caution when building this project, as the propeller may violently disintegrate under high RPMs. The motor employed in this design was a Turnigy Aerodrive D3536/6 1250 KV brushless unit powered by a 3-cell Lithium-Polymer battery.
