RC Car - Rim

grabcad

In my initial attempt at 3D printing an Open RC Car model from GrabCAD, I encountered issues with the tires. To rectify this, I reinforced the thin walls and made adjustments to the design. However, I have not yet tested the results. The rim featured a lip for the tire's inner race; I added ribs for strength and stability, but am unsure if they hinder functionality. If necessary, I can trim the ribs post-printing. My preferred printing settings are PLA with a 0.25mm layer thickness and 25% infill, which is estimated to take 11 hours. To reduce print time, I plan to remove one of the tire's supporting ribs. For now, I share my experience...
