Kraton It's supposed to snow here in Oregon so I printed some paddle tires for the Kraton. They came out way better that I imagined.

This is yet another sign they I need to get into 3d printing...
AWESOME IDEA & EXECUTION!

Now those look nice. Let us know how they work.

Will do. We will see how the rims hold up, they're just PLA+. If they fail I have some polycarbonate I've been wanting to use.

Thanks! You should absolutely get into 3d printing, it's become such a fun hobby for me.

Can't take credit for the idea, files came from thingiverse. Link here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3911933

Wow those look really cool! Nice work.

Let’s see them in action

I hope they hold up, they look really cool, I have heard the only material that really holds up (sort of) is TPU.

The tires are TPU at least. I'ts mostly Ice coming down but I'll go give it a shot. Post the vid in a bit.

Worked great, limited snow in the parking lot. Steering is fairly bad, basically snow drifting, a shitload of fun. Cars were stopping to watch.

Looks like a blast! Nice work.

Always wanted to make my own TPU drift tires.

Do you have a design already? If you pay for the materials and shipping, I'll print them for you.

Hehe no, but when I am ready to print TPU it's going to be on the list

That is a very kind offer though. Thank you

These are awesome! I can't believe how well they held up. I figured the hex might be a weak point.

I see the tire on thingiverse - did you make the wheel yourself?

Nice work!

Yeah, I'm surprised also. I don't think they would hold up to any big jumps unless printed out of stronger stuff. Here is the wheel: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3911947

Awesome! Try another pair for the front & in deeper snow it should really rip!

Very cool man! Love it.
