F1 Formula one parameterized tyre/tire generator, configurable openscad
Description
Was finally tired (haha pun not intended) by Blender for creating 3d models, I took a go on OpenScad for creating a configurable tyre/tire for flexible filament printing, which also allows some text / other color on on side. So the idea is to create it with say height = 30 mm, then add a stop in your slicer at that height, change filament to different color and the stripe or text will be added on top. It needs to sit on the flat area of the side, else you'll have lose strings printed in air. Have not printed one yet, will need to wait for different filaments to arrive. It needs quite some time to render if you use fonts, so be patient when hitting F6 in OpenScad. Let me know what you think, or what I can improve. Also on github: https://github.com/skubo/OpenScadProjects UPDATE v1.2: Now a straight inner tyre ;) Also added a fitting rim - have not tested it yet, will be a very snug fit. maybe you need to reduce the diameter of the wheel rim so the rubber tyre fits
