Custom 3DTMT Wheels

Awesome! I got a customer message on my store about a month ago from a family wanting some custom wheels. But they just fell off and stopped responding. I am wondering if your group is how they found me lol

could’ve been! Haha

I’m headed into port right now. This evening I’ll PM you the info I have and see if it’s someone you know. I’d like to get them their wheels if they still want them.

Sounds good!!

Do you have a ‘Logo’ for Stormi’s Mobility Project? If so, send it over and I would be happy to create a file to print the wheels!

OK, Peppa Pig! This one is 7 colors but can be edited to be as many as you’d like. Let me know if this works and I’ll create a 3mf file for printing and upload to the drive.

do the hub caps need be printed in petg also, or can pla be used/

PETG is a better material choice, since they are held with tension, and PLA is more brittle, tends to creep under load, and susceptible to UV light and heat.

PLA would “probably” work for the hub cap style. It wont work for the complete wheels that I print. And the PLA for the hubcaps will for sure need to be glued in since it will creep and get loose like @TDK1013 mentioned.

may i ask how they are under a load as they shouldnt be,

i undestand the wheel itself does as it has weight and stress on it

though i have yet toprint either ,

i just have access to more colors of pla then i do petg,

and it being a decorative add-on vs functional, but i wanted to ask

thanks

Fins that push against the side of the hole (what makes the cap friction fit and stay in place) are under constant spring tension when installed. While it is not structural for the chair, once this tension is gone, the cap would fall off. You can glue it in place, but than you would have to break it if you ever need to tighten the bolt.
