V2 16-Blade EDF Pod For 3-4S Brushless

cults3d

V2 IS OUT! This version offer better aerodynamics inside the fan increasing a bit the thrust. Comes with optional printable stand for tests, fan is specular to older version, meaning the bolt holding it will further tighten while rotating, instead of going in the wrong sense. You can use a random fan mount with M5 thread for holding the fan, or use the same adapter you used with V1. [V1] My first self designed EDF Unit for Brushless Motor. Tested today after printing it with PLA, and mounted on a 2800Kv motor with customized motor-to-fan shaft and 3S LiPo. The fan surprisingly didn't had any issue up to max RPM with have been over 30k RPM, giving a (unmeasured yet) good feelable thrust of about 800g wich will increase with newer versions. The fan is of simple design with 16 blades. I would love suggestions and eventual hints by more expert designers! I know PLA is not the best for this application but this is my very first week of approaching 3D printing world so i just wanted to test out everything. The motor mounting may look small but it fitted the outrunner i had for the test.
