Tires for xecutors Neato-Wheels

cults3d

When printing the rims by xecutor why not print the tires too? Because my VR100 has lost a lot of his tires profile and got more and more problems on carpets and door sills I designed at first a tire with a profile similar to the original one (neato_wheel_tyre_original.stl). To improve the traction on door sills I later made a second version for me (neato_wheel_tyre_climber.stl). It makes a bit more noise on hard ground but because I'm not at home when the robot is cleaning this doesn't matter me. May be that this version is helpful for other users with complicated ground too. Both models don't need support structures. Recommended print settings: Material: white or clear TPE or TPU with shore 85A or lower Extruder temperature: 235°C Print bed temperature: 80°C Print speed: 25mm/s Estimated print time per part: 2h Material per part: ca. 15g I printed direct to the glass plate without capton tape because on earlier tries the adhesion of the TPE on the tape was so strong that i lifted the tape from the glass plate when removing the parts. Edit 2016/06/26: Added the model "neato_wheel_tyre_climber_V2" for better climbing
