More 3D printed wheels coming from Copper State Models
« on: October 08, 2022, 01:05:50 PM »
Copper State Models has released images of two more 1/32 scale 3D printed wheels in development.




We understand Proper Plane is also developing its own line of 3D wire wheels with a limited edition set of 2 Continental 810x125 spoked wheels coming soon. The tires are printed by 3D. The spokes are made from 0.13 mm wire.

I'm just curious, how long does it take Fat Otto to make a pair of wheels?  Or is that proprietary information?

That's a good question, about three days.  But I always leave a generous postal schedule ahead of me to rest between jobs.  I make the wheels at a gentle pace and have to be in the right head space.
