"I am looking for these lift fans" Topic

Does anyone know where I can get lift fans like these

I'm looking for something cheap so I can kit bash more landers, gunships and such for HQC!

Spare hobby drone rotors on ebay?

Model railroad shops?

Model RC aircraft/drone shops.

Out of (deep) left field: kitchen blender/chopper blades?

Out of (deep) right field: grass trimmer blades? (blades, not string)

computer fans?

Look in discount chains, toy and department stores, and electronics stores to find cheap, cr@ppy toy quadcopters.

I have saved some of the plastic holders for ketchup from Costco. Mind you it is just the ring and will need a lot of work.

If you have access to a 3d printer you could make this,

Otherwise look for those cheap pull toy helicopters, probably can find them in a party favor store.

That's exactly what I was thinking of.

Bashy & Dan-
Good pick-up, guys. Maybe also check the party favors section of the box stores or other similar. I've seen these for gift bags in Walmart and such places.

Thanks everybody!

Hello Tsofian,
You should get the smaller diameter ones.
Look what I had done with mine… this should help.

zrunelord – those look great!

Terry, I was thinking you had access to an IT department.

When I worked at the University, there were 'computer fans?' regularly in the trash. Sometimes a bit of a task to pry out of housings, mind you.

I used muffin fans on my Shakespeare class flyers

I was looking for something slimmer.
