A very basic wheel model, 57mm diameter and 8mm inner hole for an axle. Designed to replace very cheap wheels on a propane patio heater. But, there's more ... 24 cuts modeled inside the wheel that will force your slicer to add 24 "spokes." The resulting strength will be determined by your wall and infill settings, but will generally sustain radial forces more than standard sparse infill choices.
I used 3 walls, 6 top/bottom layers and a 15% gyroid infill. The resulting print used about 85g of filament.
I printed one in PETG-CF (0.4mm nozzle) and one in PETG-HF (0.6mm nozzle) for a longevity test. They will live outside in sun and weather — we'll see how they're doing when winter's over!
