If you had told me a few years ago that individuals would be 3D printing rubbery tires for LEGO vehicles today, I wouldn't have believed you. It's crazy how far the technology has come.

Never would have guessed with the limitations of earlier 3D printers they could now be used to create rubber like tires for Lego sets. Really cool, and informative video, and the new variation of tires really do improve the look of the car.

Awesome video :D Probably too difficult but maybe you can print a model for the tire in hard material then make a silicon mold with that, and then cast the tires with liquid rubber. or maybe just a thin layer of liquid rubber or latex on the printed tires themselves. edit: with difficult I mean labor intensive and messy. I'm sure you could do it.

I’ve always found the Porsche 911 RSR Lego model to also have disproportionate wheels/tires. It would be amazing if you could also take a look at improving that model as well.

That’s great! Two years ago I’ve purchased the Lambo but I didn’t like gold rims at all and I didn’t want to paint them. So I tryed to design and print new rims for my lambo and this is the result. New rims, new color, old rims are still in box. I think 3D printers give us a lot of opportunities, the “only” difficults are beeing able to use 3D printer and software for design.

3D printing is relatively new technology,but with the time it will be improved,it will become type of technology that we will use on everyday basis in our households,like pc's or smartfones today for example.Nice educational video.🙂👍

Awesome!! And you can print slick tyres for the McLaren F1 car!!!

It looks better now but hey little tip since you’re using the 3D printer. Remember the Mclaren F1 Technic that had an error with the Pirelli branding on the wheel cover? Now you can print proper Slick tyres for the Mclaren.

The harder tires might do well as drift tires. No need to worry about destroying tires, you can just make new ones :)

those new tires for the batmobile are better

I've tried printing lego parts (and lego tires) in the past but it was quite difficult to print such little parts with such accuracy, I might upgrade to a better printer.

This is so versatile & legit A1 to watch i kind of want to try this futuristic set to created hand by hand-made possibly :)

WoW ... your printed tires have really the dimensions which LEGO don't have!!! Where can I order these beautiful tire upgrades for my Batmobile?! xD keep up the good work!!!

attika! :D nice to see him helping out :D

Have you thought about 3D printing molds and then casting polyeutherane or silicone rubber into it to make wheels? This is done a lot with combat robotics and can give some absolutely great results, although generally the hub is inserted into the mold so the tire is permanently fixed to the hub.

I designed and 3d printed wheels and tyres for my Lego Defender. I wanted some different wheels and some offroad tyres, I think they look good.

It's really interesting to see how much you can do with 3D printer nowadays

Make proper 3d printed speed champions rims

When all else fails just use the printer to make a mold and make the tire that way. There are quite a lot of options for silicone rubber. Although I might be a bit biased as my friend at Uni did a lot of work using molds and made me want to try it.

You could make drift tires with low friction to make it easier to make a Lego drift car

Best fix for any Technjc with motorize option is: To slap in proper hobby grade ESC+motor+gearing+servo. That's all.

Now for some racing slicks for the McLaren Formula 1 car.

best RU-vidr (:

If you could work on fixing the technic defenders wheels that would be helpful

Thinking if would be possible to make Slicks Pirelli for the Lego Mclaren F1. Slicks for the lego Mercedes F1 could also be nice but scale is quite challenging.

Finally, the McLaren f1 car can have the slick tyres it deserves

Try Ninjaflex filament. It is good quality, extremely durable and flexible and stretchy.

You should definitely be desinger of a Lego technic

I'd like to see new tires printed for the Raptor or the GT

Attika! (Very cool lego technic ytuber)

Nice video keep going

Chemical treatment might be the option but I'm not sure what will work with this kind of filament

The Lego technic Batmobile has a lot of potential, I bought an instruction on rebrickable to upgrade the Batmobile design. No new tire required

I do like 3d printers but my concern is , is the plastic manufactured for them recycleable

Thanks

No need to print out better tires and rims to see that the ones on the LEGO set are way off. A simple photoshoped image would suffice. But I appreciate the effort put into the video and showing how elastic parts can be printed. The other possibility would be to look for RC vehicle tires, they often match the LEGO rims good enough.

Trying to 3d print custome Lego dinosaur parts form a 3d printer how do you think I should do it

Can you chemical wash or even fume bake the shiny material? clean some of the burrs off and matte the surface finish maybe?

Hey Balazs, great video as always! I have been wondering for a while what is that motorcycle model I see in the background. It is above the DeLorean, next to the red crane, but it's covered by the microphone. Can you share the Lego ID number of that model, or is it a custom model?

If I had a 3D printer, I’m pretty I’d only print legos lol

Hi RacingBrick..I have been watching quite a few of your videos about the LEGO sets..especially the one you made in the previous year ending, mentioning the dioramas. I am 18 and a Star Wars fan. I want a set which is affordable, has a good size, and has a few mini figures. A size like the upmcoming X-Wing Fighter may do. Can you suggest a few good sets? Also, are dioramas good for display?? Thanxx

For those looking the vase appears to be, Giroid Vase.

This could be a game changer for the Delorean kit. The tires that come with it have kept me from buying.

Does the mystery helper live in "attic, ey?" :P

Would there be a way to coat the 3d printed tires with another material to make them more grippy?

For creating your own Lego parts - 3D printing should not be used for the final parts. Rather use it for what it is good for - prototyping. get your design ready but without such things like axel-holes. Prepare the parts to have no surface defects and then create a mould and cast the parts in resin. Then add needed holes by drilling them. That way you can get parts with tighter tolerances, better finishes and way stronger.

Nice video. Is it possible to get anywhere the 3d files?

where can i find the files for these tires?

what were your settings for the tpu??

Do you plan to share these files? WOuld be awesome to be able to print them as well.

Lego could use 68,7x27 tires from 1987 batmobile set

what filament is this? PLA or ABS?

less traction = better burnouts

“Hi everyone this is Balazé from racing brick.” What happened to, “What’s up guys this is…”? Also sorry I have forgotten how to spell your name so I don’t know if it’s correct or not
