 DIY 80 mm Electric Ducted Fan | 3D Printed | Thrust test comparison

Hello guys, In this video I have designed and built an 80 mm ducted fan and compared the thrust of three propellers i.e. 6 Blade, 8 Blade, and 12 Blade. The ducted fan has an 80 mm diameter and is 3D Printed. I am using a 2500 Kv Racerstar BR2207S motor to rotate the propeller.

Check out the video to check the thrust test of the motor and make one for you.

Electric ducted fans (EDF) are an efficient way of producing thrust for an aircraft. However, there are a lot of variables that can be fine tuned to optimize their performance: body curves, fan blade pitch, duct length, number of fan blades, etc. Using both simulation and experimental results, the objective of this small project is to enhance the thrust per input Watt of my design.

Well here it is, the world's first usable 3D printed 50mm EDF housing. At least I haven't seen anyone else do it, so I assume I am the first. Material is ABS, printed at 200 microns. The housing is quite strong and would definitely endure much more pressure than any 50mm EDF motor and impeller can produce. Watch the video and you will see for yourself.
