🔧 Assembly Note
🔩 Propeller Bearing: To achieve a buttery-smooth spinning propeller, this design requires an MR128 bearing ($8 \times 12 \times 3.5\text{ mm}$).
💡 Pro-Tip: For connecting the joints, it is highly recommended to use gel glue. The gel formula fills minor gaps between 3D-printed parts perfectly and doesn't run, giving you a much stronger and cleaner bond during assembly.
