Post-Printing

After removing any old tire residue use a small screwdriver or other tool to stretch the tire onto the hub

How I Designed This

Design requires the precise measurement of the caster hub and then drawing the hub in OpenSCAD. This drawing is then used to subtract from the desired tier shape so it will fit the hub. Special care will need to be take to make sure the inner/outer lips on the tire will keep it fast to the caster.
