3D printed wheels tested.

Jul 2, 2022 5:56 PM

I have printed the four wheels of different materials, the tires are all from the same spool of TPU.

They roll smoothly, and they didn't break. I assumed the PLA wheel shown here would be the one to fail, but none of them did.

I'm not a skateboarder so forgive any ignorance but why is that board melted?

Or are you referring to the fact that it's not flat? It's a drop-deck longboard, allows you to use larger wheels without it being too tall.

It's an original Salvador Dali skateboard.

It's not melted, the grip tape is coming loose in one spot. This is my "test" board for bad ideas like 3D printed wheels.

I think I could do that. I need to get some harder TPU.
