3d printed space wheels


Woodsy, the other day you were discussing 3d printed parts. For future toy conversions, here is a familiar 3" 3d printed wheel you might recognize. 

A friend designed this print file for me that is set up to print 3" or 6" moon wheels, depending on the size of the project.

    Bob is a 3D printing genius. That Moon Wheel is tops!

    That is excellent, what is the vehicle next to it?

    Thanks! The vehicle next to it is a 1985 CBS Toys 6x6 High Risers Seeker Battery Operated Toy. It's my first target to be converted to a lunar rover for my grandson.

    Thanks. It looks a bit like the Star Cops moon buggy from that angle.

    3D printing at it best! :-)
    Personally I use an entry level printer (XYZ DaVinci Mini - about 300 bucks) and the results are good enough for my tastes.
    Alas what we still really lack is an acceptably priced 3D scanner... :-(
