Slick 580 50cc Tail Wheel and Tire

thingiverse

This replacement wheel and tire is designed for the 3D Hobby Slick 580, but it can be used for a wide range of aircraft models. The wheel was printed at a layer thickness of .2mm with 100% infill density. I used PETG as the print material. The tire was also printed at .2mm layer thickness, but with a significantly lower infill density of 30%. The walls and top surface were 1mm thick, and it was printed using Ninjaflex. Supports were necessary during printing. I printed the wheel on my CR10S and the tire on my Monoprice 120. Update: After numerous landings, the tire failed to withstand stress, but the wheel remained intact. I have since reprinted the tire with a higher infill density of 100% for added durability.
