**********

I enjoyed printing @Meister Edel's Pull Copter and designed a 3 loop + 3 blade toroidal rotor/propeller to add to my 2-loop and 4-loop versions (see remix section). Then I designed this variant after I stripped out the outer part of the loop to form a new shape for the loop. Works really well I think! Try it and let me know how yours turn out. 

NOTE: since this propeller is a bit smaller in diameter compared to my other ones, I would not expect it to have as much speed or lift.  Plus I did this one mostly for the cool fun look of it - just to set your expectations.
