Curious. Could you 3d print a propeller or does it demand some sort of higher quality manufacturing process? For a DIY drone project slapping some toroidal propellers just to test it out seems doable.
I saw someone 3D print a toroidal prop on YouTube. They tested it and it was 10 times louder than the normal but high quality manufactured propellers. So it would have to be made with a much more precise 3D printing process I think. Link for a laugh 😆

It’s been done a lot, but its kinda pointless as any noise improvements from the shape are obliterated by the bad surface finish.
