This is a remix of my Flying Copter Toy :)

My first ones still last strong but everyone is talking about toroidal rotors.

I really like this design and I think it is a meaningful appreciation of the main design.

But try it out yourself!

I uploaded 4 Versions \u00e2 45\u00b0 Angle to print with a 0,4 or 0,6 mm Nozzle.

The bigger props will obviously have more lift but the smaller ones are cool too :D

In addition to releasing this remix, I improved parts of the original version and also linked a new assembly tutorial there.

Have fun and keep printin!

In the meantime there are more and more very cool remixes from other users that are worth checking out! They are linked as remix to this and the main Design of the flying propeller.

As with the original Version I prefer stiff, light and robust materials for these rotors. I print them with PA6CF Filament. But everything else will work too.

Safety Disclaimer: DONT USE DAMAGED PARTS! Throw them away and print new ones - Though none of my propeller did break yet and I tested them with my 3 kids and also in our kindergarden.

Original Version:

https://www.printables.com/model/227852-strong-flying-propeller-pull-copter-no-supports

Update 28.2.2023 Original Propeller \u2192 I fixed some small issues with the pulling rod and created an instructional video on how to assemble the parts :)

Printing Tipps:

Locate the seams at the center piece to get a good airflow and connection between the connection points .)

The lower the layer hight the better should be the aerodynamics. But Even with 0,2 mm they will work just fine. I print them with standard settings (2 Perimeter & 15% infill)

Remix Culture

I think this simple design is very open for you to bring in your designs too! So be invited to create even better propellers! (I uploaded the .step file of the core piece. [mm])

W8ing for s.o. to scale the toy up for adults :D

Update 28.02.2023

I deleted the 50\u00b0 Angled models since the 45\u00b0 ones print just fine :) I also added 2 smaller propeller to print with a 0,4/ 0,6 mm Nozzle :)

This contest is open to Planes, helicopters, quadcopters, gliders, or any other kind of flying machine. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe should define what it means to fly, float, or glide to help reduce the entries from those that think they are clever with a comment like \u201cif thrown, anything can fly\u201d. Any valid entry once let go of in a way intending to launch the object must have some form of lift capable of slowing or preventing its descent by gravity. If your object has no more lift than a stone or a ball, it\u2019s not a valid entry to the contest.","isOpen":false,"__typename":"CompetitionType"}],"contestsResults":[{"ranking":2,"contest":{"id":"371","name":"Make It Fly","slug":"make-it-fly","modelsCount":471,"openFrom":"2023-02-14T00:00:00+00:00","openTo":"2023-03-31T23:59:59+00:00","__typename":"CompetitionType"},"__typename":"CompetitionResultType"}],"prusameterPoints":null,"latestContestResult":{"ranking":2,"competitionId":"371","__typename":"PrintLatestCompetitionResult"}}}}
