Hoverboard Airless Tire

thingiverse

I'm upgrading my hoverboard with bigger tires by designing the model in Solidworks and hitting the print button right away. The yellow wheel is crafted from PLA, while the green one is made from PETG. I've incorporated some flexibility into the design, but it's still fairly rigid. As a 95 kg rider, I'm pleased to report that the wheels aren't flexing at all during my rides. Printing these tires in flexible materials would be an intriguing option, but it would require a significant investment of time. Maybe someone out there has the patience and skills to make it happen!
