The propeller has been designed by using the S8064 Q500 Pylon Racing airfoil coordinates. I tested it on the Micro Drone Propeller Thrust Tester (results below).
It was printed slowly, by using a 0.2mm extruder nozzle at 0.04 height per layer. The print was cleaned with a Precision Knife
After this, I got to finishing the part with a 400 grit sandpaper.
Here are the measurements for a few voltage values (these can also be viewed in the image files):
1.5V => 10.57 grams
2V => 19.64 grams
2.5V => 28.11 grams
3V => 38.17 grams
The files you can download contain all shots taken during the test, with 6 text files that have all the airfoil coordinates used in the build, the printable STL files and finally the SLDPRT files. Should you want to tinker with this propeller, you need to get a bunch of 8520 coreless motors.
You can use the SLDPRT files, should you want to make your own changes to the drone propeller.
Notes: Airfoil plotted using the matplotlib library for python.
