Just so you know, this thing is called a "Jesus nut", and this guy is about to find out why

He will buy more replacement parts because that nut will fail 3 rotations in. The blades won't even get up to speed, nvm take off so that the commenter idea of crashing can be realized.

prrrrrt imaginary stuff for likes and comments

We used to call the flight result from these kinds of decisions. "Having the glide profile of a Coke machine."

Laugh all you want, but plastic isn't the only shit you can 3d print with. Metal printers also exist. Direct metal laser sintering or laser powder bed fusion With correct heat threatment after. These parts can be as strong as machined parts.

If it was laser sintered like DMLS 3d printing and properly heat treated he will probably be fine.

Laugh, but I think I recall hearing the Raptor engines on the SpaceX rockets are 3 printed. Aren't they something like 100,000 lbs of thrust each and maybe 2000 C?

We should repost this every 2 hours guys, just in case.

I wonder.... do they call this the Jesus nut because its not important? Or is it literally responsible for holding the weight of the entire aircraft? Extreme strength stainless alloy, requiring regular inspection, made in a high tech machining facility, where they undergo rigorou

Nothing wrong with that, rust doesn't necessarily indicate a replacement is required

Yea that's a joke. You need a helicopter mechanic to install this nut and that person will let you hear it if you walk up to them with this plastic gizmo.
