Printing:

You need to print:

  • Other parts one time each

You have the option to print the shorter axle for 2 propellers in this case:

The rod could be a bit difficult to print, i added custom support, but clean your buildplate and apply some glue.

PETG & PLA tested👍 Prefer PETG for rod and axle.
