Title: 3D printed 6" wheel inserts
Post by: KP on March 07, 2020, 08:11:07 AM
I made these for a WKC member. They turned out pretty nice. I think they fit the 6" wheels with 4 pegs for attachment. They can be customized and painted to your color of choice. I will charge $10 for the pair shipped if anyone is interested. Just PM me.

@KP Are you going to do any of the 8 inch inserts?

I'm afraid not, my 3D printer is not large enough to make them. Maybe later when I upgrade to a larger printer.

Do you believe you would be able to design a 8" insert? I have access to a 3d printer.

Send me some pictures and measurements (preferably in mm). I'll be more than happy to help.

Nice pick up! Looks like it would but I'm not sure if Weber made them in different sizes. Measure it and let me know what the outer and inner diameter is, preferably in metric.

Man those are sharp. I’d definitely be in for a pair of 8” if you start making some.

Yes I can, they are going to the $15 + $3 shipping per set for custom text. I can send you a picture of the design before I start making them. Just PM me and let me know what you want printed on them. Thanks.

Thanks @KP for working with me on these.  I did fill in the white behind the lettering, so it really ties together with the kettle they’ll be going on.

@RottiGuy That's a great looking kettle. I don't have that particular but may be able to find it

Looks like something between "oasis blue" and "lagoon"
