3D Printed Tyre with Experimental Rubber like ABS Filament (Click here for article)

I painted the 3D Printed Tyre with a Black Gloss Enamel Paint. Probably should have used a Matt Finish but decided to use what I had lying around.

The painted finish helps to show the Tread detail on the Tyre.

Print Settings on the UP 3D Printer were:

Z Resolution 0.25mm

Finest Fill Setting

No Raft

Quality Fine

Nozzle Clearance 0.30mm

I found that I needed to unravel the filament off the reel while it printed because it tended to stop feeding as the filament tends get caught on the reel due to its tacky surface.
