looks nice, are you going to make it metal?

Probably not. Had this design rotting in a folder for a while, so just gave it a print. Basically this attaches to a disc brake plate. The placement of holes on the disc meant I had to have the same holes on the wheel and that was less than idea because they are closer to center. So I made these locking features to hold the rim in place. They will probably fail and then Iāll think of a proper design for disc brakes. Haha.

If anyone has access to cnc or wants to have it made in aluminum, I can give you the files for free. BTW, these are meant to go on the front wheels.
If you are thinking of CNCing then there is also a cheaper way than making the entire wheel. It will basically be an adapter that attaches to the aliexpress wheels. Iāll post it here in a few days.

Damn this is super cool. Using this would allow me to be one step closer to being legally allowed to ride my esk8 on the roads in Victoria, Aus

Nice! Letās see where this goes. Do you ride pneumatics now?
Finally figured out how to get ABS printing properly. Just have a single wheel which has a pulley on it, the other 3 wheels just arrived in customs yesterday so only a couple more days! Then just need to get a second ESC then Iāll be flying

Thatās the plan. Distribute the braking force.

Would an ABS adapter be possible? Or not enough strength for this application?
Problem is that abs has to hold m6 threads and I donāt trust it. Youāll understand when I have the adapter readyā¦
Canāt have a hex nut at the end instead?
Sadly no, because the hub has 3 holes and disc brake has 5 holes. There is no way to space things out nicely.
Oh that makes sense. Best to just ignore me Iām far from an engineer hahaha
Iām getting there i finally got my trucks and pulleys after a week of usps delays.

Im just a step ahead! Operation test ride begins tomorrow afternoonā¦ just in time before i leave town for 2 weeksā¦ i scared to see where my range will drop toā¦but hoping for a nice cushy rideā¦ may have to order a drop down deck while im gone so i have another money pit to work onā¦ =P I made an assembly vidā¦ which ill edit this weekā¦ used a slightly smaller bearing for idlersā¦and a 410mm beltā¦ i got 415mm just in case but to much slack although could be remedied by going back to standard size bearingsā¦ but space gets tight around the bend from wheel pulley to bearingā¦
