1/6 Scale Truck Tire

thingiverse

Just for kicks, check out this 1/6 scale truck tire I whipped up in Fusion 360 just messing around. It's got a pretty cool tread design - more of a "can I do this?" thing than an actual pattern from a real tire. It'd be perfect for some futuristic vehicle or just something totally different. The tire measures out to be 17 cm in diameter, with a 9.4 cm inner radius. I'm currently working on designing a rim to match it. So far, I've printed similar tires on my Formbot Raptor without any issues whatsoever. If you're looking to print this baby, your best bet is to split it into two halves and glue them together afterwards - although printing as one piece with supports on the inside and maybe a raft is also an option. I've successfully done both, so go ahead and give it a try!
