3D Printing Flexible Rubber Like Tyres for Your Scale Models with Resione FX60 Flexible Resin

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Wow, those tires are seriously detailed and the softness of the material makes them great to wear on rims. Thanks for the share 👍🏼👍🏼

[@birdsarcasm]

Blown away by the technological advancements in 3D printing. You're my only source. Thank you for showing this to us

[@tillytony]

Probably already mentioned but you could print the tires in two halves and use some rubber cement to stick them together.

[@SlowlysModels]

Way nicer than my attempts way back. The supports I used when trying those was just a solid cylinder 'wall' to hold the tyre up and that way I could slice it off at an angle to kind of match the sidewall profile

[@cartertg]

When I normally trim my uncured (hard) resin prints, I do so with a straight-edge razor blade under my stereo zoom scope to “saw” at the support as flush as possible to the surface. In the uncured state, the resin is still soft enough to cut through leaving a reasonably clean mark. Other times I might partially cut from different sides so that at least, if I break off the support, it “guides” the break to avoid a goosebump or divot mark. Given the crazy amount of micro-supports you added to the flex resin my method would take a while. If your support tear-surfaces are more divot-like, maybe experiment with “painting” raw flex resin into those spots and hitting it with UV light.

[@mtb_joshi06]

This sounds so cool. You have a lot more possibilities. 👍🏼

[@TalosASP]

Note about the statement about "Removing the support on ABS like Resin before curing": Wenn pulling your support off of uncured resin, there is a high chance of breaking a good portion out of the surface of your model, resulting in litte round holes or worse. The safe way is to cure your model with the support still attaached and than use a small pliar or similar to remove the support before sanding.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Awesome printing of those tires. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jedimaster36091]

I print my tires flat on the plate, with no supports whatsoever. That is without a platform support as well. They turn out fine and no need for post finishing. In the scale I am printing, 1:43 and 1:64, you cannot see where the tire sidewall had contact with the plate.

[@petermerz2704]

Cool! Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦

[@daniellepage4590]

Interesting will try it

[@justin_704]

try having your supports on the inside of the tire with the tire raised about 5mm. Then use a sharp (new blade) xacto or utility knife or scalpel to cut the supports off.

[@ScaleModelJAM]

Great video, i have tried and failed many times with the F80 formula, so this has given me the motivation to try again. :)

[@niklscalemodel]

[@ShinjiBabel]

Thanks for all the details and showing the correct chitubox settings. Would you be able to print 1/60 tires for hot wheels with this resin?

[@ODGColornChrome]

Would it be possible to add the supports to the inner wall of the tire?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Yes and no. Then the outside of the wall would be floating in thin air. Thus having the print fail.

[@morrocantocador]

How do you call the VW van sketch art on the wall?

[@KwadratowaKartka]

thank you for this video!

[@comi9]

Good stuff!

[@Mre942]

what if you wuld cut the support with a carpet knife or scalpel

[@theebalissa3302]

Dose it possibly print it on FDM ???

[@THERE.IS.NO.DEATH.]

have you tried to use a heat gun to possibly cure those support bumps? looks pretty awesome though

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

You mean melt them?

[@THERE.IS.NO.DEATH.]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel I've seen a few people suggest heat gun to smooth imperfections or help remove supports on KZbin. You would probably have to make sure not to overheat it so it doesn't melt too much or burn, but I bet it would smooth it out any rough jagged edges pretty easily.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

@@THERE.IS.NO.DEATH. warming it up to remove the supports is normal practice. Melting it to make it smooth is not something i would try. As it will need to be really really hot!

[@THERE.IS.NO.DEATH.]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel try it on something you don't care about ruining some time, you never know until you try!

[@modellisto]

thats a nice material!

[@jlr3636]

Instead of individual supports could you just print a thin solid ring and cut it off with a razor knife? Or design the support with a thicker base and vertical section and taper down where it meets the sidewall

[@geekdiggy]

6:32 did you create the file for this tire? i've been looking all over and am having difficulty finding that exact type of tire in 18 inch size. any information would be much appreciated!

How would 1\64 scale tires come out? Too small? super interested in seeing the results if you've ever tried

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Same. But then smaller. Shouldn’t be a problem

[@Cybetron_]

Hi, good demostration. I got a question, hows the grip of the tires? Is it any good for running around or is it only for show?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

No grip, just a slick surface. Not sure if sanding it makes it grippy or not

[@Armabelico]

cut the tire on symetry line and place that flat on the bed, join both parts with the same reisn. hope in helps.

[@fabulous_y5654]

Or glue them together. I have done that with TPU-95A, glued the two parts together. Looks great and doesn't affect the flexibility of the tire. Although, not every tire design allows it to be printed in two halfs (imagine racing slicks).

[@ubepalitaw]

Have you tried printing tires with brand names like the yokohama logo on a tire?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I have not

[@edlemes2631]

hello, can two or more colors be combined? thank you

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

If it is the same type of resin

[@geekdiggy]

would increasing the length of the supports get rid of the leftovers on the tire? what about using very careful blade work? is this resin reusable? i'm getting back into modeling soon and have never 3D printed before and i have a lot of questions.thanks for any help you can offer.👍

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Increasing the length would not matter. The resin is not reusable after it has been printed in to a part. Only the uncured resin(liquid) can be used

[@Xappt]

I would like to know wether the parts made with that resin are grippy as well. ?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

They are not grippy

[@sohchx]

I have had very good progress using Formlabs Elastic 50A resin. It's pricey but the quality in the finished product is well worth the cost.

[@squatzilla]

Did you use the formlabs elastic 50A resin with the formlabs or did you use the resin in another printer?

[@alexbotner4656]

@@squatzillaI would like to know this as well

[@HuHanCho]

Would a Hobby knife not help cleaning the rubber?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

That depends on how clean you can cut it

[@jmix77]

Instead of pulling off the supports, can you cut them off with a sharp blade to have a smoother finish on the inside of the tyre?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Yes and no. You’d still have all the nibs, but then trimmed a bit neater

[@maxvideodrome4215]

Any notes on traction? Curious to see if this still slips n’ slides or grips the surface the wheel is driving on.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I have not tested this myself(as i dont do rc stuff) but straight of the printer its pretty slippery. Not sure what it would do after sanding, or some driving

[@Lucian.Zaharescu]

Thank you very much for this very helpful review, i have tested the same resin with the same settings on Anycubic mono x 6k and everything is fine just that the tires sare not really black they tend to be transparent black i would say, therefore the question - what uv power percentage did you used ?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Mine are slightly transparent aswell on the thin parts. But when put on the rims you can’t see it anymore

[@arnosmulders6338]

With regards to those supports, if you would freeze the tires so they are (temporarily) hard, can you then sand the supports? Or alternatively create a ring similar to the rim for the tire and have it stick out just enough to clear the tire. Then put the supports on that ring. After printing, just cut away that ring including the supports. Would that work? Curious to your opinion.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I have done another video with this type of resin, using the ring support: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYbRhHeQp85rerM The resin can be sanded, easiest to do it with is one of those rotory tools. by hand it takes ages. It is rigid enough to not bend super flimsy, its not like the actual rubber tyres in most kits.

Hand sanding flex resin is like trying to sand a gummy bear. I use a rotary tool with a fine diamond bit. I print flex using FormLabs Flex 80a Now if I could only get Resione to print without ripping off supports half way thru the print ☹.

[@youdoyouplayer8529]

Just watched an uncle Jesse vid about continuous supports. Would maybe work perfect for this application.

[@kevinm3751]

Test your printer overhang. You can likely just print the tire right on the plate with no support, as long as you set the angles so they overlap the resin will cure properly. I am able to print up to about a 50 degree angle on mine with no supports but each printer is different, so you need to get a test model to find out how far you can print overhangs without support to know for sure.

3 questions and I may have missed the answers in the video. 1: what is used to wash the print? 2: how long do you have the part in the cure chamber? 3: what are the friction properties of the material?
