Hi, I don't know if this is the place to ask this but :- I would like to know what size extruder nozzle I should use to print this, I have tried with my stock ender 5 S1 and all I get is a flimsy paper this propellor I have increased the thickness to 5 with no noticable difference what does the blade_thickness represent as it doesn't seem to be mm. here are all my settings just incase I'm an eejit and messed it up

$fn = 100;                      // how polligonall you want the model

toroidal_propeller( blades = 3, // number of blades | Default(3) height = 5, // height | Default(6) blade_length = 90, // blade length | Default(68) blade_width = 56, // blade width | Default(42) blade_thickness = 5, // blade thickness | Default(4) blade_hole_offset = 1.4, // blade hole offset | Default(1.4) blade_twist = 15, // blade twist angle | Default(15) CW //blade_twist = -15, // blade twist angle | Default(15) CCW blade_offset = -6, // blade distance from propeller axis | Default(-6) safe_blades_direction = "PREV", // indicates if a blade must delete itself from getting into the previous (PREV) or the next blade (NEXT) | Default("PREV") hub_d = 16, // hub diameter | Default(16) hub_screw_d = 6, // hub screw diameter | Default(5.5) eh_l = 2, // length of the emptying of the hub | Default(0 = [No support]) eh_d = 8 // diameter of the hollowing of the hub | Default(0 = [No support]) );

Sorry I was using Openscad 2015 as no newer version will run on OSX 10.9.5 tried it on linux with a newer version and now I can fly :)
