Propeller Balancer

thingiverse

I got a balancer shaft from Kavan for pennies on the dollar, but I never had a proper stand for it. Because I also had some small magnets lying around, I designed this propeller balancer and wanted to share it with you. All you need for this propeller balancer is some metal balancing shaft 70 mm in length and with a tip less than 3 mm. You will also need two cylindrical magnets of 8 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height. Print this balancer stand and the inserts as it suits your printer best, put the magnets in and secure them with the inserts. If stringing occurred, cut it off and clean the stand thoroughly to ensure the balancer shaft rotates freely without hindrance. If you already have all the necessary parts, great! If not, here is a bill of materials for you (affiliate links ahead!). Use it for orientation, or if you want to support me, please consider a purchase. 1.
