Made this prop to fit a motor I pulled out of a 7200 RPM HDD (western digital - WD800JD)
prop uses an NACA 2412 airfoil
I used a real airfoil, but beyond that I didn't spend much time getting the aerodynamics correct, i.e. no consideration of surface area or angle of attack/twist. Just tried to make it look cool to see what my printer could handle.
Havent spun it up yet because I dont have a driver for the motor, but I'd love to see it spin. Seems like it would move some serious air.
