Liebeck L1003 Airfoil Micro Drone Propeller (27.57g thrust @3V)

thingiverse

The micro drone propeller has been designed using the Liebeck L1003 airfoil coordinates that were carefully selected for optimal performance. Engineers tested it on the Micro Drone Propeller Thrust Testing Jig, and the results are provided below. A high-quality print was achieved by printing at a slow speed with a 0.2 extruder nozzle at 0.04 layer height. The final part was meticulously cleaned using a Precision Knife to ensure a smooth finish. After cleaning, the propeller was sanded using a 500 grit sandpaper for a precise and durable surface. Thrust measurements were taken for various voltage values, which can be seen in the accompanying pictures: - At 1.5V, it produced a thrust of 6.76 grams. - At 2V, it generated a thrust of 12.47 grams. - At 2.5V, it produced a thrust of 21.37 grams. - At 3V, it produced a thrust of 27.57 grams. The downloadable files include all the pictures taken during testing, as well as six text files containing the airfoil coordinates used in the build, STL files for printing, and SLDPRT files that can be adapted to suit individual needs. If you plan to use this propeller, it's recommended that you have a few 8520 coreless motors on hand. The SLDPRT extension files are also provided for those who want to modify the propeller model to fit their specific requirements. Note: The airfoil was plotted using matplotlib library for python.
