I created this while exploring whether I could optimize a popcorn popper's fan.

If you are looking for guidance on designing an efficient and effective fan, take a look at Bleier's Fan Handbook, which has all the relevant equations in chapter 7.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

NACA 4 digit Generator Openscad
by betobetok (thingiverse.com)
 
Centrifugal Blower Impeller (parametric)
by rennat (thingiverse.com)
 

Differences of the remix compared to the original

  • offset the vanes after the support rings, promoting more even airflow
  • simpler bottom surface printing--no supports needed anymore
  • optimized code that renders faster
  • replaced Naca4.scad, which has onerous licensing terms, with an improved version of GenNACAXXXX.scad
