Drela AG08 Airfoil Micro Drone Propeller (32.56g thrust @3V)

thingiverse

The drone propeller design is a direct result of inspiration drawn from the **Drela AG08** airfoil coordinates. Testing was conducted on the **Drone Propeller Thrust Testing Jig**, and results can be viewed below. Printed with precision, the part utilized a slow speed print setting, featuring a **0.2 extruder nozzle** at 0.04 layer height. Once printed, it was thoroughly cleaned and deburred using a **Precision Knife**. Next, I applied fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges, employing a piece of **400 grit sandpaper** in the process. Measurements for varying voltage levels are detailed below, with corresponding images available for review: - At 1.5V, the propeller weighed in at 9.53 grams - At 2V, it registered an impressive 18 grams - At 2.5V, it tipped the scales at 24.71 grams - And finally, at 3V, it came in at a substantial 32.56 grams The accompanying files include all relevant images from the testing phase, as well as six text documents containing airfoil coordinates, printable STL files, and SLDPRT files for further customization. For those looking to take their propeller experience to the next level, I recommend acquiring a set of **8520 coreless motors**. The SLDPRT files are provided for users who wish to make alterations to the original design. Airfoil plotting was accomplished using the matplotlib library in Python.
