Nice distance! I suspect that part of what you're running into is the following: during the initial acceleration, the disc is locked in, but when the launcher decelerates, the disc rotates and slams straight into the vertical wall of the cutout. The easy way to prevent this is to make both sides of the cutout helical ramps (not just the locking side), which I'm pretty sure is roughly what all those toys do. That way, the blade just gets pushed away from the launcher. You can experiment with the clearances there, of course - a gap like you have now vs. closely interlocking helices.
Just to wanted to make a technical correction to your last comment. The helicopter wheel/blade did not start turning the other way, rather it started slowing down to the point that it "appeared" to start turning the other way. It is an optical illusion known as the "wagon-wheel effect" (as well as by many other names), which is the same reason why the wheels of cars often appear to turn in the opposite direction. Regardless, amazing work! 👍
Hey Engineezy! Love your videos, found you through your shorts, and since then I've been on a binge (if you couldn't tell by me digging through comments on a 2 year old video). Really excited to see what you've got up next, genuinely super inspirational stuff you're doing. I'm pretty sure that in this case, Unknown1A is right. Watch 6:25, and you can see (5 times) the propellor wheel do as you described, stopping and changing direction. It's just passing through intervals of the frame rate of the camera as it decreases RPM.
First design probably had way too big a fillet on all the edges. The „ roundness“ of the contact area could have been the reason for the sideways launches. Crazy height in the end! Fantastic stuff!
What about launching by the arm using a small 24-48V using a trigger below the hand? So... You don't need to use and carry the power drill outside and it will be more comfy and funny.
Imagine if you mounted a tiny motor on a gear like that and then make a drone out of it. You could make a really long lasting drone since you barely need any power to keep the helicopter blades spinning. Honestly if this would scale up, you could potentially put it on larger applications. I really want to see what an automotive or aircraft manufacturer would think. Like, putting some crazy gear ratio like this on an experimental jet or car and see what happens.
now i have to buy me one of those toys and have some fun like its the 90's again just because you're an evil mad scientist ... jks :D nice response to the comments :) well done mate 👍i love it ❤
Awesome work! I was curious if I purchased the files could I sell these locally (I own a gift shop).. no online sales or Facebook marketplace! I just thought I’d ask out of respect. Thank you for posting awesome stuff!
Hi Jessica, thanks for asking! Generally this stuff is for personal use only, but since it's local you have the ok! If you can direct the credit towards me that would be great.
Is it possible to use these gear ratios in an electric car or as an alternative form of generator, maybe an alternator, maybe a watermill or a hydroelectric dam? I'm sure they use them in such places but this seems like a much higher ration or smthn
You said you had no expectations when testing and then at the end you said it exceeded your expectations. I'm calling you out.
🤷♀️🤷♀️😀
Anything is better than zero expectations.

That its very true! Something worth investigating for sure.

@@Engineezy What mark and model are your 3D Printer? It appears as very high quality printing.
@@aquamastertheonlyone it's a Prusa mk3! They're great printers!
@@lio1234234 Thanks 👍

In this case it actually slowed down to the point where it started rotating the other way from the air resistance as it fell!

Was not expecting that height. Well done man
I know! Me neither 🙌. Thanks for watching!
@@Engineezy great job we need awesome innovators like you 👍👍👍👍
Wait I thought you meant his height! 🤦♂️ lol
Love the herman Miller, I have one myself!
hahah found it on the side of the road 🙌 huge win
@@Engineezy Found mine for 40 bucks, listed as a "Amazon basics" chair
I can see this being a great disc launcher for our dog who loves to retrieve flying toys!
That's a great idea!
wow! that yeeted pretty far!! v cool!
😂😂 Did I use that right?
My grandson will LOVE this!!
Have fun! Be safe haha

Your videos are awesome man. Your channel is gonna blow up.
Thanks Alex! 🤞
This was extremely well made, love your vids ;)
Thank you!!
Now I want to make one 😂
Pretty fun!
You’re still replying to comments nearly 2 years later? Love that 👍
Gotta! 👊👊
Alright yeety Mcyeet-pants. We all want to see you climb that red and white tower and launch it.
😂
❤ from srilanka.interesting content
Thank you!
Now make a 3D printed RC plane with an EDF or a DC motor or something
That would be epic!
i posted this comment 2 months ago what
@@mysteriouspikachuman got lost in the sauce!
@@Engineezy mmm spaghetti sauce. i love pasta
Loved watching the trouble shooting! Super cool video
Thanks DANI :)
you love your w40! don't ya!
How could you not!

Thanks Florian! Very possible!
This reminds me of those spiny thingys at the arcade y'all all know what I'm talking about
Bravo
🙏🙏
I have a 3-D printer but man do I suck on solid works 😂
Nice Jay, awesome to see
Chesel!!! Thanks dude 👊👊👊

Bro Gud idea
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That unique and gifted what a great design thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Debbie!
That was so cool!
Sorry I missed your comment! Thanks, glad you enjoyed :)
Good stuff man you'll have plenty of fans within In the coming years
You should do a tutorial about gears and how you model them for your projects. cool stuff :)
Maybe I will make that happen 1 day!!
Him “I know what you’re all thinking” me-“MORE EXTREME GEAR RATIOS!!!” Him pulls out drill. Me-“close enough”
😂😂😂
Neat work man!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome stuff!!!!
Thanks J²
So much potential in a 3D printer. Maybe Show us how to make a working gun next time?
More of a love not hate kind of guy, guns ain't my thing.
This might make a good vehicle to launch an explosive.
I can't get the hand crank version to lift the prop off --- its too heavy I think.

Wd40 is a great product but certainly not the best lubricating oil.
I am curious how the amount of blades would affect results
i made a flying rainbow friend yellow 3d print.
Nice
Thank you!
@@Engineezy damn that thing launches all right
Some doubted that this would be possible, but you provided the answer. Thanx!
You bet!
We'll talk to the designer about that
The designer told me to screw off. What a guy…
Why so many dislikes?
Haters gonna hate?
If you make it heavier, it will go waaay further
Something interesting to consider
Can you make a motor with electricity with this 3D model with the motor
YCC
Can you make a different link? It wants me to enter my info on the current link
Still working on that!
Holy Shit
:):)
NICE JOB!!!!!!
Thanks Marc!!
Pretty cool I love it! Camera man could of done better tho
I'll let her know you think so 🤣
V2.0 on a car engine ?
That would be cray cray
now i have to buy me one of those toys and have some fun like its the 90's again just because you're an evil mad scientist ... jks :D nice response to the comments :) well done mate 👍i love it ❤

@@Engineezy great, thank you for that! I’ll surely give credit.
At this point he almost made a weapon in my opinion
Almost 😅

Am seeing a good business
If you can make that thing a toy
This definitely exists in different forms already! I like where your head is at though :)
