This tyre is designed to print with TPU. The purpose of it is to make your board ride smoother and in slippery surfaces like snow, soil or grass.

A fusion360 file is attached in case you want to make modifications to the design.

 

The grooves on the tyre V1 are inspired in cyberpunk style. But these can be a little loud.

V2 grooves are smaller and should run quieter.

V3 grooves are even better, more frequent and have shown better grip.

 

I recommend using the same infill % / infill pattern / wall count, as this part is key. Less infill % will result in higher friction as the tyre will bend inwards easier, reducing the acceleration from the skateboard. Infill % of 25% or more is recommended.

 

On my Ender 6 these were print settings that worked:

  • TPU from reprapper 
  • Infill: 25% or more
  • Infill pattern: Gyroid
  • Wall count: 5
  • 35 mm/s
  • bed: 60 C
  • Nozzle 220 C
  • retraction off
  • support material only on the base of the wheel, with blockers on other areas.
