5 inch Propeller Container

thingiverse

Tubular propeller container, great for keeping 4", 5", or (up to) 6" propellers together and safe during transport! The taller tube fits inside the smaller tube; it's a snug fit, but it should fit together and create a small amount of vacuum when you pull them apart. Taller tube is 100mm high with a 45mm interior diameter Shorter tube is 60mm high with a 48mm interior diameter I've been using these for a few days now, and find these: fit great (props rest with little wiggle room) close snugly (they don't pop open during transport!) actually protect props from damage! (they don't take HUNDREDS of pounds of weight, but they prevent heavy gear in a bag/pile from bending props!) Instructions Best slicing settings are always going to depend on your printer; I print primarially PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle with the following slicer config: http://pastebin.com/j31P7hc9 You may need to try printing the first ~15-20mm of each tube and trying to see if they fit together; if they don't: check your printer calibration! (there's ~0.5mm tolerance between parts which should allow for a fairly snug fit at ~1.1 extrusion multiplier. If you find they are too loose try to increase your extrusion multiplier, if too tight reduce appropriately!)
