LEGO® compatible tire 3483 replacement

thingiverse

This is the matching tire #3483 that fits the LEGO [3482 hub](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2085115), both of which are no longer in production. I made this primarily on request, but also just because modeling it was fun. The Blender source file is included for those who want to know how I model something like this. This was modeled from the actual part by measuring and eyeballing, so don't use this as a reference for the exact measurements of the real part. However, my test print fits pretty nicely. I also included the mysterious asymmetrically positioned inner ring like in the original part, if anyone has a clue why this is there, I'd like to know! Obviously, this must be printed in a flexible filament to be of any use. I printed it in rigid.ink flexible PLA which is a bit too stiff for the task. Although it is possible to fit the tire around the rim, it doesn't have much grip. NinjaFlex or a soft TPU would be a much better choice (but I don't have any at the moment). Disclaimer: This is offered as a replacement part for personal use only and is not endorsed by the LEGO company. It is not to be sold for profit, i.e. if you print it for someone else, you may only charge production costs.
