ROV Bilge Pump Thruster Propeller 3 Blade

thingiverse

This ROV bilge pump thruster is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the SOAR bilge pump thruster mount. To establish a reliable connection to the bilge pump shaft, it employs the Master Air Screw MA3200 and an expertly fitted 10-24 x 1" bolt. To achieve efficient manufacturing without added support material on the blade, the blades are printed upright. Moreover, these blades have been designed to be symmetrical, a deliberate choice that ensures ideal turning capabilities by providing equal thrust in both forward and reverse directions. For enhanced efficiency, there is a slight sacrifice of forward thrust for an increase in reverse thrust. The innovative propeller assembly design was influenced by the outstanding work of Ole Godø from homebuiltrovs.com. For those seeking a different configuration option, it's worth noting that a two-blade design is also available. To get started with assembling this ROV bilge pump thruster: First, print out three precise blades along with both top and base caps. After that, connect these assembled parts to the Master Airscrew MA3200 propeller adapter by means of a securely fitted 10-24 x 1" bolt.
