Wheel Rim - PacMan

thingiverse

Another Solidworks model from my digital archives, this is an example model I made while instructing students in an Engineering CAD course as a Teaching Assistant. The assignment was designed to have students create a wheel rim that would interface with a specified 5-bolt hub on a provided assembly and with a given tire model. Students were given dimensions for the bolt pattern and cylindrical rim, but the webbing/spoke design was left entirely up to them. I created two creative designs, including this one, to demonstrate this concept to my students. As you can clearly see, it's inspired by PacMan. Unfortunately, I no longer have SolidWorks, so this model has been translated through Fusion360 to create this STL file. I hope you enjoy it and if you decide to make it, please post pictures - I'd love to see your creation!
