Making My Own DIY F1 Mini Tyre!

Pirelli's Wind Tunnel Tyres look awesome but they cost £700 each...
So I decided to make my own using go kart tyres, 3D printing and spray paint, all to fit within a £150 budget!

[@Gprince2121]

Love love love this! However £93 for that 3D print is day light robbery! If you ever need 3D prints in the future, I’ll happily help out as a thank you for making great content!

[@jensaugust743]

Was about to say the same thing! You can get a quite decent printer for like 3x that. And the plastic used is like 3£ at most. Also rather confused as to why he would get it in ABS? PLA seems a lot more appropriate for the job, considering it isn't structural.

[@michaeldahlinger8815]

@@jensaugust743 ABS is more rigid and less prone to warping.

[@heavyweight6440]

@@michaeldahlinger8815 If you set up your heatbead properly and have the proper distance of the nozzle to the heatbed you wont get any warping on PLA. I have never had ANY warping on my Ender 3 with PLA.

[@michaeldahlinger8815]

@@heavyweight6440 I don't mean just with printing, in general PLA can melt and warp after being left outside in the heat and whatnot. I personally print with just PLA and PETG and have never printed with ABS as I don't have an enclosure and just wouldn't want to have to deal with the smell. That being said thanks for the response, I dont really have an warping issues either when printing as I use a BL touch for leveling and as long as I keep my glass build plate either clean or with an adhesive, it does its job. That's just my knowledge on ABS from what I've gathered from being in the 3D printing community for a few years.

[@slipknotfan2217]

pay 20 pounds more and you got yourself an ender 3, plus another 20 for filament

[@JustThingKing]

Great video! Here are a just a few notes that could've made the result slightly better; * You could get the red more vibrant is by using a white or red primer (primer greatly affects the color of the top coat). * Vinyl is also quite hard to get clean, I would try water transfer decals (you can get sheets that you can print your own designs on, any unprinted area just becomes transparent). If it comes out bad it's easy to remove (just water and some scrubbing) * Normal primer works fine for 3D prints, but filler primer is better. It fills in the gaps way more and is great of 3D prints. You could also use something like Milliput to hide the banding.

[@eddy8956]

I think if u use Waterslide decals on non smooth surface it will look very bad, it might be better to stay with vinyl i guess. but i agree with you, on smooth surface it would be better

[@RaianF1]

This is just too cool! I would've sanded down the Dunlop markings off the tyre but otherwise it's immaculate

[@ethanbrigden8674]

Cool project! A note for the future, the banding on the 3D print is because of the .stl file export quality, adjusting the options and exporting at a higher quality will make it super smooth. Hope this helps on future projects, keep up the good work.

[@mattamys]

Thanks!!

[@ethanbrigden8674]

@@mattamys No problem 👍🏽

[@Kauppamopo]

7:08 that's why should always remove the masking tape right after you are finished spraying, when its still wet. that way it doesn't dry to the tape and leave uneven edges when removed.

[@SlimeKingSKG19]

Why don’t you just ask Lewis Hamilton to give you one of his trophy😂 cause he had a lot of them

[@footycardstuff1232]

He doesn’t own them. his car owns 80% of each.

[@EpicFatLip]

To get the red more vibrant, I would have used a light grey or white primer. But before that, I'd have tried to cut those rubber prints off the sidewalls with some sort of planer...

[@janionmakes11]

Nice job! Smart thinking with the expanding foam to keep the tyre shape. That 3D print is expensive though, I hadn't realised how much it costs to get single parts made

[@mattamys]

Thanks! Yeah it’s pricy but it’s also thick, largish and using a decent plastic filament :)

[@schwuzi]

@@mattamys Get a 3D printer. I recommend the Ender 3.

[@crrbn5514]

This is really nice. you can actually get this lot cheaper, if you get the go cart tire from a local go carting track for free and if you have a 3d printer you can print the rim by yourself.

I use a mark forged and form labs printer the form labs one has lots of material resins and goes to about 100 microms so it is very smooth

the centre cap off the original wheel is from the Vw golf gti Pirelli edition, if you wanted to add that touch, you can still buy them from the dealer.

this is such a good idea wow. I might get a wheel printed out at my university! good thing I have some experience with modelling already because that means I might actually be able to replicate it :)

[@lewismatthews1442]

For the painting, use a white spray paint to create a base, that will make the red far brighter. Other than that, this is freaking amazing!

[@michaelfortier7726]

Suggestion for a remake of this : make a 2 part rim so that it actually goes over the tire bead and is glued together in the center. It's ok for somebody with no fabrication skills, but a few key improvements would make this much better :).

[@charlesmorales5737]

[@PBMS123]

4:55 FYI you want to use filler primer to do this, and not just regular paint primer. Filler primer will fill gaps with the putty, and not paint.

[@schwuzi]

I also made one with a tyre 7.1 inches wide. I also found the original 3D model you modified and printed the wheel nut separately.

[@tombutton5031]

Fair play, the amount of effort that went into this. Nice job.

[@bakedbeings]

The 3d print I'm guessing was faceted because the lower poly mesh (with control loops or creases) was printed rather than the smoothed mesh. You can create the smoothed mesh in most any modelling package with a click (blender/Maya/ZBrush) and then export a much smoother STL for printing. The banding on 3d printers is measured in fractions of a millimetre!

[@Sharp_Stone]

Try to sand down to original tire markings for the next one. Also, a good 3D printer ender 3-v2 costs around £190,-. So maybe it's worth just to buy a 3D printer and some filament.

[@joshihenschl1634]

Super nice idea, especially with the go cart tyre! i might make one myself as i own a 3d printer myself what makes that build muuuch cheaper. ;) Little comment on the acetone smoothing thing: that only works with abs or asa materials, others like pla and petg wont smooth out :) in my opinion the small problem with your printed part was the 3d file being exported in a low resolution causing these steps on the circular sections in and outside the rim.

[@climaxjumpclimaxform]

I think another thing to make it better is to smooth out the writing on the go kart wheel..... Anyhow great job mate... Loving it

[@mamanmahomie6747]

love it

[@leatherworkstation]

You could get a better, rounder print with less faceting with different software. STLs when saved need to be told a tolerance. The default tolerances are crap for 3D printing, I lost a batch of resin prints to that.

[@dunkelheit7534]

I need that, now,

[@NAn-bb3kl]

Get in there tyres!

[@LibertyCharge]

bruh it looks so nice.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Make the wheel two-part so it snaps or threads together. Only other thing would be ensuring the rim fits the tire more precisely. There's no way that would hold air. Otherwise, quite the exceptional job!!

[@diet-water]

Ayyyyy yoooooooooo I've made loads of those rims for lots of different race teams. At the manufacturing company I was in we made loads for Red bull, McLaren, Williams, Mercedes, Toro Rosso and a few others. We also did lots of other 1 off rapid prototyping for them, and once for Mercedes we made some actual full size ones. The rims are actually made of 7075 aircraft grade aluminium,and not stainless steel. Stainless steel would be too heavy and expensive for the race teams to buy as it almost doubles, if not triples the cost of the rims as it's such an expensive material. Anyways it's a good mimic

[@eddy8956]

Wow it's super interesting, i really would like to talk more about it with you if you are okay ?

What did program did you use to resize the Pirelli logo?

[@xFreeze27]

Try to remove the tape before the paint is fully dried. This prevents the edges from cracking. For the tone: RAL 3000 looks to be better fitting. I’d even go the extra step and try to smoothen the tire flank to get rid of the Dunlop letterings

[@mattamys]

[@yannisstathopoulos542]

Primer, then white paint, then red paint to make it brighter. Maybe a thin yellow between the white and red to make it a bit more vivid? As for the tire texture there should be some way to remove it before painting, isnt there?

A good effort, until you get close it's fairly convincing, but my problem is 'I' would know...Annoyingly, I'd still probably shell out the obscene cost of a genuine tyre. But nice vid and the use of a go cart tyre was ingenious. 👍👍
