And that is a great looking 3d printed spinner. did you use the stock aluminum backplate? Any chance you are able to post the stl file?

Thanks! The STL is from Thingiverse and was designed by Tom Hunt, known as rcmodelstl on there. Here is a link to the STL: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3277229 Tom designed it for the Avios 1400mm wing span Spitfire foamie. I'm having trouble loading the one I printed for the exact measurement but it was 108mm to the larger OD not the inner retaining lip. It fit the stock aluminum back plate. You still need to use the through the nose retaining screw. I balanced it but haven't spun it up yet so I make no claims on whether it will hold up to the higher power of our set ups. Use all cautions until well tested.
