YES, there is much more than enough interest to learn from your experience. With 3D printing technology I think we don't need a lathe to get rims and hubs, so please, share your acknowledgement with usferrarissimus wrote:15 years ago I showed my method of making wire wheels in scale 1/12 on "modeler site". But you need a lathe for turning rim and hub.Here are photos of my Aston Martin and Ferrari 375 plus where I replaced the ugly kit wheels. If there is enough interest I could think over showing it again on this forum.

It would probably be a good idea to save that article in some fashion, being sure to get the larger photos by clicking on each of the images Jurgen included in his instructions, and then print it out to study carefully.
Excellent! Thank you for sharing that.
If anyone tries any of the techniques you find, please remember to post on F1M to share your experience with the rest of us!

Re: Wired wheels lacing technique question
Well, I have done a PDF with the method used by Jürgen Kowalski but I don't know how to put it in the forum. Please let me know how to do it.

Re: Wired wheels lacing technique question
I made a jig to mark where to drill holes (by hand), and another to hold pieces while gluing metal rods.
Re: Wired wheels lacing technique question
I've been doing tests in 3D printing wire wheels, and got some good results, but unfortunately not yet with home printers. Had to outsource the printing to get finer details. Here's images of results in 1/20 scale (for the Revival Alfa P3) and in 1/32 scale (for the Revell/Matchbox Auto Union Type D).

Re: Wired wheels lacing technique question
Thank You for the interest in my spoke wheels.I will do a WIP in the next weeks, but before this I must reduce the size of the pictures I have. They files are too big for this forum.

Re: Wired wheels lacing technique question
Smirkoff, may I ask what home printer you did try, and what resolution is necessary to get the fine looking spokes?
