Hello,
I just realized the first version of my 3D printed tyre truer was posted here exactly one year ago.
You can find for comparison the first version here
Well it's about time I reveal the new version much improved and fully functional.
Based on the experience on the first simple version I designed and 3D printed a new version with much improvements.
The main improvement involves the use of 3 bearings on the grinding spindle and the tyre spindle is also with double support.
You can have a look at it at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2011055 where, if you have a 3D printer, you can download all files and build it yourself.
in the description you have the full BOM, tools required and assembly instructions
As I wrote this project was born to test the limits of a functional 3D printed tool and also to contain the costs.
Well, I am pleased with the result and it fulfills all expectations.
Cheers,
JamieG
