I designed two different types of skateboard wheels. A 52mm diameter wheel for a versatile utilization and a 50mm diameter wheel for tricks.
I 3D printed these for my skateboard.
A first set will be printed in ABS and a second one in NinjaFlex.

After 3D printing (50mm).
"After a few sessions at the park" pictures.
We can see here (last picture) that the infill is not 100%. Thus, once the first 1mm of the wheel is destroyed, the "weak" part of the wheel (70% infill I guess) is in contact with the ground, which can be broken easily.
The parts did break when I was sliding. Maybe these ABS wheels should only be used for tricks or cruising.

However, I am really looking forward to printing it ABS with 100% infill and in NinjaFlex.
Stay tuned!
