nice work, but I would double nut and red lock tight that together. We go forwards and back constantly and that could put stress on one nut.
Yeah, definitely getting a double nut on there. But even if the nut was to come off chances of loosing the prop or propulsion are slim. The props are threaded tightly onto the shaft (that nylon is tough stuff) and I've tested it with no nut and the props stay pretty much where they are.
FYI, I only have a single nut on my Mogador and Barham plastic props with red Loctite and haven't noticed any loosening. One issue with the plastic props though. If you tighten the nut to much, it distorts the prop hub into the shaft threads and it can be a real bitch to get the prop off later.
@Nate G: Your slicer should be able to flip or mirror it along an axis. When I opened this up in Sl1c3r, it was oriented with hub parallel to Y-axis, so flipping it on the X-axis did the trick. I think they'll print better if they are laid down so, rotating them on the X-axis would be next. You'll also need to scale these up 2540% as they seem to be in Imperial Units.
