Re: [Electric Boats] 3D printed propellers

Cool stuff.

A small test prop is actually one of the few things I can think of that
a 3d printer is good for.
Larger ... probably not.

Since time goes up by cube of size, larger pieces will take a very long
time to do.
And the materials get expensive.

Just for kicks, I might get a quote from a commercial printer, but I
suspect a 50 cm prop would cost 3-5000 $ or more to print, and take
about 100 hours of processing time.
