What are good ways for a nonpermanent attatchement of a rotor to a motor shaft?
Hello,
I recently started planning a small drone to be built using an old mints box and 4 small electric motors, with a pill battery for power. The software-holding parts are still en route, so for now I wanted to verify the motors' thrust. However the rotor blades are not holding on well: I tried glue but it resulted in uneven position and was a mess to clean off.
What are options for temporary attatchement of blades to the shaft? For reference the shaft is about 0.8 mm thick (couldn't measure it exactly, but this was vendor's specification) and the blades with smallest shaft hole have the hole diameter of 1-1.5 mm. I could not find clamps small enough, adding a wire caused vibrations. Image of motors included.
To be clear these engines might turn out too small/weak for the project which is why I don't want to attatch blades permanently; this question however is only for a testing issue resolution. Thank you in advance
