Description

This is an adapter for High speed propeller launcher designed by Lukas Hannert to drive the lower housing with a cordless drill and a 15mm socket.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! This definetly has the pottential to blow the gears.

Some tips of using it: have a drill with slow start and smoothly increase the rpm of the drill. Be cautious how to slow it down. If the drill has autobrake function, it's better to just yank the drill from the launcher to let the laucher coast down on it's own.

If you have a smooth touch on the trigger you can slow it down this way, but a quick release of the trigger prompeted by the autobrake will likely shatter gears/axles/etc.

I use the low gear of the drill 0-500rpm, on high gear at 1500rpm gets very scary but with finess i think i got to at least 1000rpm (64000rpm at propeller)

Let me know if you want other drive options, larger are better and avoid internal drive.

My 3mf contains a 100% infill for the hex part and a bit more to be sure to not crush/shear the hex from the top. So far the adapter is holding up just fine printed in PLA.

Other Issues:I've tried with the textured plate and the bambo cool plate. both time the print fails halfway throught the layers go out of sync.

Not sure what is the problem. Certainly you experience massive layer shift. Does the part loosens off the plate - bed adhesion issue? or the extruder skips a lot of steps and becomes misaligned? Either way it's not the print profile, but the printer itself. If the part moves of the plate, then wash the plate with soap and warm water, rinse with IPA, and keep away greasy fingers off the buildplate. Check belts and moving carrige if skipping steps. I used the default profile, maybe it's too fast for your printer and needs to be slowed down in order to not skip steps, but i consider this to be a major harware issue to skip steps on normal 100% speed on x1c. Schedule a proper maintenace to check belt tension, and resistance in axis rods (both transversal and longitudinal) - something could be way off.

Very solid and well designed, thanks.

I'm scared to send my propellor to the moon.

As stated, it will break gears. Lol

Strength Issue:The drill part got stripped.

@AzzyAsi

well. it may be weak layer adhesion. it's a material issue. certain silk PLA's have very weak layer adhesion. PETG might be needed. my PLA works very good. Also the torque increases a lot and a sharp pull on the trigger will either blow the gears or shear the tool on the layers. So far mine survived with a soft touch on the drill trigger (ever so slowly gradual speed up and speed down)
