Here is the heat gun from the video:
Many of you pointed out that using a sledge hammer to hit a nail is overkill. Well that's what I did by 3D printing this motor thrust rig. Turns out all I needed to do was flip the prop upside down and reverse the rotation. Lesson learned. You all were right and so in this video I demonstrate that it does work and then I use my heat gun to melt the PLA rig.
Thanks for all the great feedback. The build is getting close and I'll post an update soon.
