Nice little bit of kit. Ran across it on Thingiverse and was looking for a straightforward breakdown that was absent all the unnecessary and distracting fluff so many content producers pad thier videos with. Your's was spot on, right to the point and hit all the important points. Thanks mate!
I suspect once you get enough of an audience to be able to monetize the channel, then that drives content creators in a certain direction (more fluff = more space for ads). I don't see RUclips as a way to make money and I don't think I will ever have enough time to put in to make it pay even if I did.
Hey there, I have pri ted this in pla and struggling to get a low enough torque. I bought some cheap ruby nozzles to try (£15) and like other ruby nozzles need a max of 1nm of torque or you risk damage. And 0.5mn is recomended. I printed the lowest torque internals and was getting well over 2nm (same setup was 1.3kg on the scales) a few of the fins snapped and that has helped but now its inconsistent. I printed insides in Sunlu meta pla and was wondering if petg or tpu would work. I might also redesign the internals with even shorter or maybe fewer of the blades. Would be great if anone has already done similar and has any advice.
There's only one way to find out! PLA is actually one of the stiffer plastics. I use PETG in mine and that still gives me around 1.8 Nm. I haven't tried TPU but it might work and might be worth a try. The SHORE 95 stuff is still quite stiff.

so glad I found this video, this is exactly what I was wondering how to do. thank you good sir
You are very welcome
Thanks for sharing. Which fin did you use to get the 1.7nm? TIA
I can't actually remember, but it is going to depend on filament and print settings, so just pick one, print it, and use the test lever to measure it.
