Customizable wheels enable precise control over size, design and quantity. Variables include: wheel_size: adjusts overall diameter rim_and_hub_thickness: determines outer width width: sets interior thickness spoke_number: increases to solid wheel with larger numbers spoke_dimensions: influences strength hub_height: enhances structural integrity axle_fitment: matches axle diameter quantity_to_print: sets number of wheels per print Default settings yield 5 cm diameter, ideal for a small BBQ skewer axle. A set of four weighs only 9 grams at default infill (slightly heavier at 10%). This was crucial due to its intended application: balloon-powered cars rely on minimal weight. The eight-piece set perfectly fits the build plate on most printers like the Flashforge Creator Pro. At standard settings, printing completes within two hours and twenty minutes. Concerns and areas for improvement: * Width limitation exists due to spoke cuboid shape * Spoke variety is presently limited Currently, only round axle configurations are available; prettier design code is also in demand Print Options: Rafts: yes Supports: No Resolution: Default Infill percentage: 5-10 Notes: Experience suggests rafts comprise the majority of print duration. Unnecessary or removed with further testing and experience
