# Introduction
This is a heavily modified fork of BouncyMonkeys ['Parametric Multi-Blade Propellor Generator'](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3506692). It was created by Niels Odijk and Maarten van Schagen for a research project because we needed even more parameters.
# Printing
These propellers can be quite difficult to print because of how thin they are. So make sure the blades are strong enough by setting the infill high. And don't forget to use a low layer height to keep the surface as smooth as possible. It is also recommended to sand the blades with very fine-grit sandpaper for the best performance. They should look a lot smoother than the ones in the picture (better pictures should be included in the future).
The trailing edge of the blades may be truncated by your slicer because it is to thin to print.
# Parameters
Customization is where this design shines. This propeller generator splits the propeller design up into many mathematical functions, allowing you to cha
