Upgrade your 1/16 scale Heng Long M1A2 Abrams with this fully 3D-printable road wheel assembly!
This road wheel replacement is designed specifically for FDM 3D printing. It eliminates wheel wobble and provides a smooth ride under heavy loads thanks to a dual-bearing hub.
Please note: TPU tires will be published as a separate product in the near future.
Key Features:
-
Dual Bearing Hub: Engineered to house two bearings per wheel, taking the load off the plastic and ensuring smooth rotation.
-
DFM Optimized: Designed specifically for 3D printing. The parts are split so they can be printed flat on the build plate—no messy supports required for the outer faces!
-
Scale Realism: High-detail exterior that matches the authentic M1 Abrams road wheel look.
Hardware Required (Bill of Materials per wheel):
- 2x Bearings 5x10x4mm
- 3 x M2x10mm Screws
- 8 x M1.4x3mm Screws
- 3 x M2x4x3.5 Heat-Set Threaded Inserts (Brass)
- ~ 40mm length 1.75 mm plastic filament snippet (used as centering dowel pins)
I made the test print with BambuLab P1S, 0.2mm nozzle, PLA, using Smooth plate (bed). The model is fully compatible with a standard 0.4mm nozzle, though please note that extremely fine details, such as bolt heads, may appear less sharp compared to printing with a finer nozzle.
