That looks great!

Are you able and willing to post the fcstd file so we can see how you did it? :)

It looks like you made them with a 3d printer? Is it your own printer?

It is probably downscaled or wieszak17 has a very big printer;) The model is a Polish steam lomotive wheel I think.

Wheel is indeed for polish steam loco - Ty51. Model is in scale 1:25, so wheel diameter is 58mm.
Well, i could post .fcstd but it is 83MB in size, and quite hard to follow which feature was used after which - i don't know why but it ended a little mixed.
Yes, element was printed. Project was done for my friend - i made .stl file then he send it to someone commercially offering printing services.

Well, i forgot about file...
Here it is: http://plany.zonk.pl/Ty51-koloIIIb.fcstd (83MB)
For reference, here is drawing: http://plany.zonk.pl/parowozy/Ty51/album07/pg.015.png
But beware... it is quite messed up inside ;)

/Proper necro bump, but the item is rather unique/

If someone wants to see the wheel in flesh, there is Ty51 parked right in front of Lech Poznan stadium in Poland/Poznan.

What pleasantly surprises me is that the original model is still accessible and although made with 0.14 it still opens fine with 0.19_pre. And might be even not so hard to fix.

That kind of wheel I did draw in DesignSpark Mecanical some years ago. Now I see it can be done in FreeCad too. Very nice works.
