Hello Club Members;
I am looking to see if a member could 3D print one set of wheels and the jig/spacers.
The spokes are not printed, only the tires, hubs, wheel flanges, spacers and a jig.

The following are the details: Airplane Wire Wheel  by Willsonman on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5238711

Once printed, I will take care of the assembly as per the following video.
A video of the assembly is here. https://youtu.be/NtAUAUq3zFg
Thank you.

Thank you Colin;
Another TEMAC Member offered to print these for me and all arrangements were already made.
The wheels look great and when the printing is done and all wired-up, I will post pictures.

Also note the following supplemental video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkonkttQkTo

One wheel done, one more to go!
Slightly bigger than called for on the Elder 40 plan, but they will look great!!!
Thank you Mark.

And it turn true!

A quick coat of silver paint. I know, not a great masking job.  Should be painted prior to assembly, next time...
Looks better than white with green fishing line. ;D

Looks great!

I have those Elder plans in my car. I'll be at the field tomorrow afternoon, if convenient.

If not, I'll leave it in the car.
