I have started designing and printing parts in Nylon or ABS. Made my own servo brackets and reciver holders. Today I’m printing my own design wheel covers for a 140in ME109 I’m building. Can’t buy 8in tires, but useing Scooter wheels and printing covers for scale look.

Like they said it’s what you want. If you ant decoration(I just printed a nice Houston Astros 2017 clock) used about 1/2 if a $19 roll of PLA. But if you need strong then you would use Nylon or Carbonfiber inforced Nylon, if you want smooth you use ABS so you can put it in a vapor box to smooth it out.

Can an you post picture or email STL to [email protected].
