Printed. Did a similar quick break test, and the wheel is OK so far...
The next planned disappointment will happen at the very end of august, when I return to the city to find out the wheel doesn't fit the kick scooter (I have not measured it )

Will post. But only if I find an interesting way to present it, since it looks exactly as the previous one, except it's not broken

Axial rigidity is very good. Strength... well... trying . Rotational rigidity: not at all.jmaustpc wrote:It must be very difficult to design it such that you have strength, axial rigidity, rotational rigidity and yet still somehow get radial flexibility.
But I wonder, is it actually important to have rotational rigidity? For kick scooter, definitely I don't care. But for something motorized, like a car, it may be. But is it? I can imagine, rotational springiness it may seriously reduce braking performance... by a factor of two, probably.

Re: Inventing wheels.. with built-in suspension =p
I returned to the city, and the first thing I did was installing the wheel onto the kick scooter. It fits , I guessed the thickness!!
Looking at the original wheel, a stupid idea was born. Cut away the middle, and print a suspension insert!
And of course, I will try riding on that small wheel!
But the wheel turned out to be way small in diameter.Looking at the original wheel, a stupid idea was born. Cut away the middle, and print a suspension insert!

Well to me it looks like you came home and put what looks like a bag of groceries on the floor and went straight to installing the wheel on the kick scooter. I like that approach!
As for testing it out it does look like you will have fun over the weekend.

Test results. EPIC FAIL.
The suspension disintegrated after just 2 meters of asphalt. But on floor, it was holding up...

The flakes flying away while you were driving the curb at high speed must have been quite a sight!

Indeed. I feel so stupid not having set up video recording of the moment.yorik wrote:The flakes flying away while you were driving the curb at high speed must have been quite a sight!

Likely material used isn't most suitable for such task.
