Re: New project

I would suggest that you get them printed in plastic and use them as patterns for pouring white metal props. My experience with putting printed components into service like propellers is that they will work short term, but are not nearly as durable as a cast part.

You should turn the profile 180°, in the pictures is a pull prop shown not a push prop.
