Alex Markin Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi guys, after i almost lost one of the decorative wheel blade on a bump i decided to make spare ones. There only one spare blade of each type (thick and thin) so, now,if you have a 3d-printer, you could print yourself any amount of these )) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1647527 It fits pretty fine and if you do not know - you should not notice much difference with original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking it might be possible to speed up creation by taking photos of all sides then use those to along with a single caliper measurement then all the other entries would be at correct ratios..

Alex Markin Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 i did both: photos of sides to correct shapes and caliper measurements to enter correct dimensions my 3d scanner is too poor at resolution for such small and precise object Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost one red spoke. I have replaced with the extra included with Segway Mini Pro. Now I use duct tape to tape over the spokes to make sure they don't fall off. I don't have a 3d printer so I can't do like you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you do not need to own a 3d-printer like me, you can go to local hackspace or send model to closest 3d-printing service. I believe if here at Russian Ural mountains i got two of those nearby - you should find one in Silicone Valley with ease For a such small parts - it wouldn't be expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
