ZDC modified the tracks to be strong and used a paperclip to connect them.
The paperclip idea was from Eisbaeeer tracks that I originally used, but they kept breaking on me were the paperclips went though there is not much plastic around them.

ZDC also redesigned the front as a gear to help keep the tracking alignment.
These tracks are easy to print and require No support.
Connecting the last track/tread & Removing the paper clips can be difficult if you need to remove the tracks/tread.
MY MODE:
The tracks are prone to slipping on the hard floor when used indoors.
I removed the thread from the track and added a groove to fit a 4 mm rubber cord.
The centre of the circle “cutting” the groove is slightly moved inside the track to create a slightly closed groove. This helps secure the cord, but I recommend using cyanoacrylate glue.
I printed it in PETG 0.15mm to get extra durability. Provided gcode file has 27 pcs on the MK3S plate.
I attached the step file for everyone for modifications.
