Prop drill guide for DLE30, RCGF30 and other RC gasoline motors

thingiverse

This is a comprehensive guide for crafting a propeller drill using DLE30, RCGF30, or other RC gas motors that feature 4mm bolts arranged in a 26mm diameter pattern around a central shaft measuring 10mm in length.\r\n\r\nTo assemble the drill, you will need to obtain a 3mm x 35mm (or 40mm) all-thread bolt and two 3mm nuts. This setup is specifically designed for use with a drill press, utilizing the two bases to secure the propeller in place while drilling and prevent any movement.\r\n\r\nThe process begins by threading a 3mm bolt through the knob, securing it in place using one of the nuts, and then placing the other nut within the guide itself. Before commencing the drilling process, run your drill bit through each hole to clear them out and size them accordingly.\r\n\r\nTo use this guide effectively, position the propeller between the knurled nut and the guide, with the guide situated on the back side of the propeller. Align the guide holes according to your preference, then clamp the base to the drill press table and secure it in place by inserting the nut side into the base.\r\n\r\nDuring the drilling process, move slowly and gradually to maintain a clear hole. For optimal results, I recommend using an 11/64th drill bit, which measures approximately 4.2mm in diameter and provides a snug fit for the 4mm propeller bolts.\r\n\r\nI printed this guide using PLA material with 0.25mm layers, 25% infill, and six perimeters. The included G-code file is compatible with Prussa I3 and clones, ensuring a seamless printing experience.
