5:30 If you want to add the hub in the centre of an odd-number bladed prop, you can't use Alignment. 2 ways are easiest (1) If you had left the ruler in place and made the centre of the cylinder 0 distance from the ruler in X and Y dimensions, that's the centre of the blades. (2) You could make ten blades based on a rotation of 360/10 =36 degrees, group them all, centre the hub on the group, then ungroup and delete every other blade and you are left with 5 blades and a hub in the middle.
It would have been so smart to have placed the hub when I had the ruler there! Great tip! I like the 10 blade idea too. I was contemplating a shape that matched the outer edges and using the align tool... Once again we are proving there are many ways to Tinker! 💯🔥
As an an NWT student I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your energy and information. Thank you so much!
Makes my day to hear that! Thanks @BCCharitha for the note. 💯👍 Ps.. What does NWT stand for?
Awesome job man

Man, you make this look sooo easy. One of these days I'm going to have to get a 3D printer :) Keep up the good work!
Thank you. When you make the plunge... I know a guy that is great at spending other peoples money. 😁

Thank you for getting that project rolling!!!
Can you make an airplane propeller next? And/or a pinwheel?
ZDP has one in his profile that you can tear apart. Let me know if that helps you figure out how to create your own.
