Dr. Mad Thrust 50mm Alloy EDF Thrust Tube

thingiverse

Just a simple thrust tube for a Dr. Mad Thrust 50mm EDF. It has an 8% Diameter Reduction at the exit which should give you a good mix of speed and torque. The tube is 50mm long and there's an extra 20mm that couples it to the EDF, while the optimal length is about 4x the diameter of the EDF, which would be 200mm, but that simply wouldn't fit on my HK FlyCat. There are three different versions of the tube: V1, just the tube with no wire holes or mounting bracket; V2, that has the mounting bracket for the FlyCat; and V2 Wire Hole, that has a hole for my motor leads to go through. I included STL's for all the designs as well as 123D designs so you can make your own. Below is a transcript of a .txt file I have with all the dimensions of the EDF and tube. Also, I designed this with a lot of help from an EDF Thrust Tube Tutorial thread, it's super useful and I recommend you check it out. EDIT: Added a model, V3 Side Plates, that has plates that come out of the edges for mounting on flat 5mm thick foam. Dr. Mad Thrust 50mm EDF Dimensions Outer Housing Diameter: 53.5mm Inner Housing Diameter: 51.75mm 8% of 51.7 = 4.1mm smaller end Thrust Tube Dimensions Beginning Diam: 51.7mm End Diam: 47.6mm 51.7 + 2 = 53.7mm 47.6 + 2 = 49.6mm 4.1 / 2 = 2.05mm +2mm for wall thickness, really it should be +4mm to make 2mm walls all around FlyCat Motor Mount Wood Block Dimensions 10.5mm x 10.5mm
