I´m in the process of printing ALOT of OpenR/C Truggy Tires so i thought while at it i might aswell share some info on how i print them.

All my NinjaFlex stuff is printed on a 1st Gen Replicator with this modified driveblock: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:267394

Basically i use the default ABS profile but i changed the temperatures to 220C on the extruder and 65C on the buildplate (Kapton tape). I set the speed pretty low on the outlines (25mm/s) to get a nice surface and around 40mm/s for the infill. I have also bumped up the speed for nonextrusion movements to 180mm/s to avoid stringing.

Below is a link to my NinjFlex profile for the tires. Note that i have set number of outlines to 4 and infill to 10%.

How do you find Ninja flex as a tire material?

[Daniel_Noree (Daniel Norée)]

@Andre_Roy well, as an experiment it’s ok.

Have you experimented with moulding tires?
Printing a cast and using some kind silicon based material.
Printing with Ninjaflex seems little too expensive.

@Daniel_Noree Do you sell these wheels and tires?? If so how much?? Could you make a wheelie bar for me to use on my RedCat Volcano Project “Extreme Volcano EPX”?

I am using the as my main colors yellow and purple, to match my body shell and looking for 17mm rims and tire to put on my truck. Would like to know what the price range would be??
