I have been looking at ways to designing wheels of all different scales to make them look more realistic to what i been doing, particularly at larger scales.

I have also designed a wheel balancing machine as well.

I’ll print this at 1/32 scale at first to see how it comes out. All the parts will move.

Finished now. Just separated the model into printable and individual parts. Also put a little tool bucket on the side.

Just done the test print/prototype. A few tweaks needed. The balancing machine here is exactly 1/32 scale, but the wheel/tyre is too big. I have now rectified that for the final prints. I will be doing a 1/43 scale version, but that might have to forgo the moving parts.
