CO2 Powered Propeller Remix

thingiverse

Tweaked the propeller model's design for improved aerodynamics and streamlined internal channels. Rebuilt several sections from scratch to refine their shapes. Although not perfect, this remake shows promise, but there's still room for optimization by reducing part thickness in key areas. The rest of the design was adapted from the original, ensuring a seamless fit with other components. However, the process proved more challenging than anticipated due to differences between the source and target geometries. The original model featured a 41-vertex circle, which doesn't neatly divide into thirds. This likely resulted from software export issues or decimation. In contrast, my revised part is based on a 42-vertex circle, which I then bridged onto the original. --- Edit --- Added an updated version of the remix, starting anew with similar techniques but better thought-out execution. The results are showcased in a video here: https://youtu.be/q2OFVv8BoWg
