On my R/C model airplane I damaged the rim of a wheel of the landing gear: A Dubro light weight 44mm ( 1-3/4') tirewheel.
So I decided to draw and print a replacement. Here you can find the original drawing for 3mm axle and a 3,5mm version (that I actually used).
To assembly:
- put the wheel and the rim in hot water with soap
- Insert diagonally the rim in the wheel, in order to have a small corner of the rim fully inside the tire
- Carefully and slowly work the tire around the initial portion of the rim already inserted
(I broke the first rim during assembly...)
Printed in ABS 0.15mm layer with a MK3 Prusa, using support from print bed. 80% infill
The print bed side of the wheel is not so beatiful aesthetically, so I put on the inside of the landing gear. Alternatively you can adjust the support distance from the part (I used 0.15mm, so you have to reduce around 0.05 -0.10 and spend some time to remove from the prited part)
