Tire Marker

prusaprinters

<p>When I change my summer / winter tires I like to keep track at which position each tire was mounted.</p> <p>The commercially available tire markers I used before were breaking easily and often fall out of the rim. Also they weren't very visible.</p> <p>My design consists of three main parts mainly because of the needed printing orientation of the legs. If printed out of PETG and laying flat, they can flex a lot and won't break.</p> <p>The symbols are one layer thick, so a filament change is needed after the first layer is printed in an opaque color.<br/> The meaning of the symbols should be hopefully self explanatory. But if not: The arrow points to the front of the car and the dot then marks the tire position where it was mounted.</p> <p><strong>Please see the provided pictures with assembly instructions, on how to put the parts together.</strong></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Best printed in PETG</strong> to give the legs some flex.</p> <p><strong>Use an opaque filament color for the first layer.</strong> Otherwise the symbols won't be visible enough. The rest can be of a transparent color if you desire.</p> <p>The provided .3mf file has everything configured to print one complete set with a color change after the first layer.</p>
