Syma X8C Propellers

File Update: Increased the hex nut tolerance. If you downloaded the file before, 2/23/16, please redownload This is a test file for Predator04. I remade Lukibob's really awesome looking props and added a HUB that should work for the Syma X8 drone. I did both A and B props in the 209mm size. I have not tested these and I would not recommend anybody use printed props--especially this size--but they were requested for use in a printed propeller safety test... If you DO print them and actually put them on an X8 drone, use ABS or better (PETG, Nylon, or Polycarbonate). Also test them in a safe location where NO ONE or NO THING can be hit by plastic shrapnel. These MUST be printed with supports. I think a .2mm layer and high infill rate (90% or better). Do not chemically treat the plastic. Don't bother to sand them until you have tested them and know that they will not come apart. Otherwise, I think you would be wasting your time. With that said, DO take off any high spots and balance them. That will give them the best chance of actually staying together. Lastly, it goes without saying, but you have to make and replace all 4, as these are a different pitch and size than the originals. Print two As and two Bs. Oh yea, the HUB is 1.4mm taller than the original. The root of the propeller is taller than the original and I did not want to leave it unsupported--it needs all the help it can get. It should not cause a problem with mounting them. Good luck!
