My library has a 3d printer and Id like to get a set of wheels done but haven't a clue where to start?

Files?

Size?

Backspacing?

Mount hole size?

the first question is what type of printer is it? chances are its going to be an fdm printer which isn't as suitable for what we do. a resin/pla printer is better for what we do.

files can be found on cults3d or many other sites. size is personal preference mostly but back spacing and mounts will depend on many factors such as is it a 1 or more piece wheel? do you want it to work with kit brakes or aftermarket? are you using kit tyres or printed? some files have mounts while others are just a flat back but universal mounts are available free for the japanese kit wheels and they are easy to adapt for revell etc.
