1/10 scale vehicle tires for flexible filament

thingiverse

These are tires designed specifically for a 1/10 scale vehicle made from flexible filament. To achieve optimal results, use settings of 0.8 shell thickness and 0.2 layer height. By adjusting the infill percentage, you can control how stiff the tire becomes - an 8% infill has proven to be effective in my experience. The tires are designed to fit snugly onto your vehicle's rims; if they don't fit initially, try applying a bit more force. However, one drawback is that I have yet to find a reliable method for removing them once they're installed, meaning you won't be able to take them off without potentially damaging either the tire or the rim. To avoid this issue, it's best to use inexpensive rims or 3D printed ones that can simply be replaced if needed. If the tires slip on the rims during installation, try applying a small amount of super glue to the inner surface where it won't be visible. Peel back a tiny portion of the tire and add a dab of glue before pressing it back into place. A few well-placed spots should do the trick. Keep in mind that these tires haven't been field-tested yet, so if you decide to print and test them, please share your results with me and others who may be interested in using them.
