Printing PETG at 255āC is quite sturdy by itself and PETG is cheap, but fiddly to print. I donāt know how strong nylon is yet, but PETG at 255āC is way stronger than ABS I used for pulleys before. Hell, I even used a 15T motor pulley printed from PETG for 300KM until it just melted. My motor was a 5045, way too small(I am 100 kilos) and usually reached 90āC+.

2 questions. I feel like I have seen 3d printed hubs for these. Does anyone have files for those? Also, Has anyone run the on normal caliber II trucks with 12mm belts on a dual drive?
I really doubt these can fit on normal Caliber IIs. Should be touching the board it way too many placesā¦
Assuming the deck allows. I am more talking about overall width of the wheel compared to urathane
Itās 6x2 inches. So ~160mm by ~51mm.
How was the range with those wheels ?
Thanks @accrobrandon.
Yep, here you go @Trdolan03, these are @ptowncruiserās hubs that Iāve modified for a slightly better fit, more strength in the rim portions, and added additional third bearing for the pulley portion of the hubs. I donāt think these with the third bearing will fit on standard calibers, but if you have TB218s or caliber-Es they should work fine with the third bearing. They might even fit without the third bearing, Iād measure it up in CAD first and use some calipers on your trucks to check though. If not, Iād recommend following the link to @ptowncruiserās original cad for these hubs in the thingiverse link thing description below. If you want you can even use his pulley and main hub with my outer thickened rim portion for more strength, they should be 100% compatible with each other.

well i didnt map my ride distance BUT i didnt ride particulary far or long since its cold outā¦but used up about 25% batteryā¦ which typically would have been assumed 10ish percentā¦ so i guess thats on par =/
On average I get 55wh/mi on my 6x2s filled to 45psi compared to 33wh/mi on 74A urethane. I guess that equals out to about 60% of the expected range on urethane with the same battery.

Iām running mine at 70psiā¦

What kind of range do you get compared to urethane?
Itās definitely worse but Iāve not done a direct comparison yetā¦ Iāll try and do one at the weekend. I managed 25wh/mi on canal towpaths for 5 miles but that was all pretty slow due to mud, walkers, my dogā¦
how did the wheels feel offroad?
Is there anything special that I need to do to print PETG? I built a cardboard enclosure for printing ABS but this solution still isnāt fullproof to stop edge curling
No needs to prevent curling. Stringing on the other hand. Oh boy. Just need to have a full metal hotend and a direct-extruder printer which can support linear advance or nice retractions.
