1:8 Scale 7 Spoke Rims for LEGO

thingiverse

This is a rim I designed to fit with LEGO's 1:8 scale. Its broken into 2 halves to avoid excessive supports. They fit the same LEGO 1:8 scale tires [which can be found here.](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=23799#T=C&C=11) *You might notice your slicer saying there's some problems with the mesh, but it should print just fine. The base can print without supports, but the spokes do need them. The pin holes can print fine without support, so if your slicer allows it, don't generate support in them. It can be very difficult to remove there. The base is simple so it can be printed at a larger layer height, but to get the smoothest finish, print the spokes at a much smaller layer height. If you want, you can smooth the ABS parts with acetone vapors to get an extra nice finish. The wheel attaches by putting 3 3/4 pins into it. You may need to drill out the holes a bit if the print doesn't come out precise enough. [You can find those pins here.](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32002&name=Technic,%20Pin%203/4&category=%5BTechnic,%20Pin%5D#T=C) You then glue the 2 halves together. If you print them in ABS, then you can create a very strong connection by mixing a bit of acetone and ABS scraps. Please do leave a comment if you run into any issues
