- In this video I'm showing how to use my 3d printed wheel mold to cast a set of solid urethane, coreless skateboard wheels. The wheels are 60mm, 90a, and they're a pool-style wheel. I'm stoked about how they came out! Grab some files for yourself and make some wheels!

I’m modifying this process for roller skate wheels! This guy rules!
Keep me posted on how they turn out, I always thought it would be cool to do quad-skate wheels
@@GoodRoads I’m trash with blender, should I be fine on fusion? For model-making I mean. Or do you think one of your open source files could work to start?
Trucks!?! No way! A few projects ago, I'd commented that Alex had built every other part of a skateboard and (jokingly) that he should build a forge to cast his own trucks next. He responded that it was coming up and I assumed he was also joking. I can't wait! I appreciate how humble you are while blowing us away with your ingenuity and networking skills.
I hadn't had my coffee and I was like "Who is this Alex?! If they're making board components I want to know what they're up to!" It me. I'm Alex now. Alex, Chris, it's all good, just don't call me late to dinner.
I'm stoked on the trucks too brother, I can't wait to really sink my teeth into that project!
Solution for your humidity problem. Modify a food dehydrator to make a drying area to pull the humidity out of the air, this hack is used a lot for Filipe t spools and since you print things you’ll get more bang for your buck. I live in Maryland where it’s near 90% humid all the time and the food dehydrator helps prints and should help with your urethane too.
Definitely worth a shot since I want to get a setup like that going for my filament anyway
That's a tasty looking candy apple green! Pretty rad dude
This is the video I’ve been looking for for years!
Me too dude, that's why I decided to make it
@@GoodRoads and that’s the sign of a good youtuber! Definitely subscribed! I used to press boards with a hydraulic press but had to sell it for space and money reasons but you’ve got me wanting to make birds with your styrofoam mold and wheels with this method! Much appreciated.
do a freeride/downhill set next!
YES YES YES YES YES!!! TRUCKSSS TRUCKSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
Conical shape about 54 or 52 mm, dude you are a inspiration, i'll start to save money to buy a DIY skateboard deck kit, and later i'lm go for the wheels 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
I was just thinking how cool of a time we are living in were we can build are own Skateboard and wheels at home and then I looked at the trucks on your board when you were riding it..
My cnc could mill them but that's not for everybody so I am really looking forward to seeing what you come up with 👍
This is incredible. Thank you so much for making this available for free, both the content and of course the files! Can't wait to try this someday and experiment with wheels myself.
Let me know if you do!
Per me you still need to to do post curing in oven. Try to hold them in oven with 110 C (Celsius) for 40 minutes before use. They should get much stronger. Actually industrial wheels do like that.
YAS YAS !!!
Open source is the future. Oh no no no... it's now!
very nice we need a little mold to make fingerboard wheel :D
Working on it!
aawww mmaann this was super cool! pls do concord street wheels!
(my favorite :D)
Great work. I'd love to see a 54mm tablet style wheel.
I'm so excited to see more of stuff like this. The second I see anything of a spitfire type wheel 55mm I'll be printing on my ender pro and sanding lol
Thank you! Gave me some confidence to try making molded engine mounts.
I'd love to see how that comes out
This is so sick amazing job
I really enjoyed this whole video man. The Bob Ross energy bgm was a perfect touch too.
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I love it!!!!
This is awesome! I’d love to see some conical 56mm 99A wheels!
Bro that is way too small and too hard💀
awesome work keep up your great videos there awesome!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video! Very well explained and I'm glad you're doing all the testing and failure reporting, too :)
Awesome. I'd love to see something like a formula 4 wheel. 53-54mm 101D perhaps. Keep up the great work.
I've always been a fan of conical. This is so cool though. Looking forward to trying this.
This is so sick
Keep up the good work man
Thanks dude, will do!
Can't wait to see how you tackle the trucks!
Step 1: Learn to cast aluminum.
@@GoodRoads Step 5: bankruptcy
Hah! Jeez, I hope not
You are awesome! I’ve been wondering if I could make my own roller skate wheels, but I didn’t really think that was a DIY challenge that I’d be up for until I saw this video. I’ve never used urethane resin, but I’ve definitely had more than my fair share of humidity related epoxy resin failures. It’s humid where I live in east Texas almost all year, so the dehumidifier is my BFF in the studio for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience and your file! ✌🏼💜🛼
Hell yeah! I want to do the same. I can core a set a wheels each session. So if I can make my own would be awesome!
Thank you so much for these videos. I have wanted to make my own rollerblade wheels for a few years now. I should be able to do that now with your files you’re giving to everyone. Yah bless!
Please let me know if you do! I'd love to see this technique make it's way into other sports
Awesome video, Chris! If you need a test dummy for slides, send me a set. 🤙
Classic
Conical 54 mm 97a
I have a raptor 2 electric skateboard.
The motors are hub motors in the two rear wheels and they use urethane sleeve wheels... Custom made for them. I can 3D print a mold to work to make one. I'm just working on what polyurethane to use to make the wheels... And then hopefully I can have custom wheels on my raptor.
When you do the power slide it might help to push your legs toward your slide. Like your spreading you weight out across the ground. But I would love to see a 99a concave 58mm wheel.
Awesome & Thanks :)
Great job - love your work! How about a combo shaped Asymmetrical wheel. Tablet shape x rounded back or rounded x conical shaped.
The sector 9 steamroller seems like it might be a challenge because of the sheer size and softness of the wheel
I know this video is a bit over a year ago and you may have already fixed the issue. But, I have a dehumidifier in my garage to keep the humidity levels down. I generally sit around 30-33% humidity at all times for 3d filament purposes and parts that easily rust. Hopefully, this helps if you still have this problem, if not, maybe it will help someone.
Cool 👏👏 awesome about making your own truck's, I've been busy on something that's taking up my time, hopefully it's all done next month, but will have to get into making more patterns and things, but also have to get stuff done on car's wich also takes my money and time arrrh matanice 😞 👍🏽👍🏻
You’re amazing dude…and the wheels turned out very professional. Would you make a harder whee…like a classic 99a. Have a good day sir 🫡
I would very much like to do that at some point
You decided on what you're going to do for an axle?
I've been keeping an eye out, but I'm not finding much more beyond what's already been discussed.
I'm going to use those hardened threaded tie things on mcmaster, I think they're equivalent to a grade-5 bolt so I'm a little worried about them, but I think they'll last for at least a while
Spitfire OG classics in a softer duro would be cool. ;)
I love riding 97 mm wheels. but they are hard to find a vendor for, and usually no durometer value is provided. by comparison i gathered that the ones i've got from ali are 78A. I'd love to see some 97 mm with a high duro value
Please get some conicals going for us!!
100% I've managed to mess up my resin printer but once it's up and running again that's going to be the first set of molds I make.
Can you do a video on making crystal clear wheels in different colours?
Clear wheels would need a specific urethane formula. A lot of urethanes that have the durometers we're looking for have a natural amber tint to them so something crystal clear would be sort of a specialty product. I'm hoping to do a whole series testing out different formulae that are available, I've got to build some testing rigs first though.
The polyurathane is very hydroscopic and will absorb the moisture from the air. There is a nitrogen spray to help eliminate any moist air trapped inside the container to prolong
the storage life. Well done for showing the release fail, shit happens. Just make sure it's used in a well ventilated place, it's toxic.
I have a question Chris. How hard are they? Do you have an idea where they fall in any durometer scale?
Also, free spanish lesson: Time to edit! = ¡Hora de editar!
Hahaha thank you for the spanish lesson! The wheels should be (and they do feel like) around 90a. I don't have an actual durometer so I can't test it, but that's what this formula is spec'd at and as long as I got a good cure that should be the hardness.
Love the vids man!! Just one question, what pressuriser (sorry if thats not the correct term) do you have and would you recommend it?
I'm using a modified pressure pot from harbor freight, I've got a video on how I put mine together: th-cam.com/video/76KV98fSzF8/w-d-xo.html
design a spindle to smoothen wheels. Like something that goes into the wheel grips and locked in to hold to spin on a smoothing sander. Also you can buy sanders that can make those fine lines you see in some skateboard wheels.
I've been watching for sometime and we have close tastes in skate equipment and noodling with set ups.
I have to tell you you are gonna freak out for joy when you discover and try surf skating .
For you I would recommend a waterborne front and back kit because you have lots of trucks and decks already.
But surfskating is so look flowy and low impact its turns flat ground into a bowl or a wave you never have to kick push .I'm telling ya man just knowing you as little as I do from this channel I know like me your gonna get on one and know other style trucks will do anymore .
Its like opening a new dimension in board sports.
Just saying.
I've seen those and I'm really intrigued by them. I'll definitely have to give it a shot at some point. Do you have an adapter you recommend that works well with RKP style trucks? That's the style I prefer
Is there a video of making that deck? Love the shape! Shown at 10:34
Same then using epoxy on surfboards nightmare mixing in a small room with a dehumidifier helps tho 👍🏻
you have to BAKE IT! 190-240C over 40minute to make it.. WORK
Ok, if you could make a heat sublimation machine, for printing graphics? Def like your 3D skills. Thanks for all you’ve done, for the community. Super-tecky info.
Need a sublimation machine and a deck supplier.
See what I did, there..,.?
Make 56mm conicals!
I roller skate thanks for the informative videos
What next? Custom bearings?
I was thinking of using old melted down plastic bags for wheels.?? Whatcha think also I only have an fdm printer
I don't know if you've seen the youtube channel Precious Plastic (I think they actually go by One Army now) but I love everything they're doing in the small scale plastic recycling space. I think recycled plastic wheels would be a really neat experiment, I think they would roll, but I don't actually expect that they would be all that good. Plastic bags are HDPE which has a low co-efficient of friction, so they'd probably slide like crazy, but they also probably wouldn't grip at all. Would definitely be a fun thing to play around on! I certainly need to see if I can make this mold geometry work on an FDM printer, they're so much more common. If you give it a shot go with the smallest possible layer height you can manage, it'll make a huge difference in accuracy and post-processing
Quick question, since I don’t have a 3d printer, would you consider printing (and shipping) a mold to me with my dimensions/specs?
Do you have the pressure pot for degassing?
Hay, your presserizing pot thingy.
Could a jar with a brake bleeding kit do the same thing ?
I don't think a setup like that would be able to reach the PSI needed to get rid of the bubbles
Do you know how exactly to swirl paint when making these wheels? I want to try to make something like a slimeball goober wheel with the swirled wheel.
I have an issue trying to print the top of the mold. I am using a Ender S1 3 Pro.
Are you planning to cast those trucks in resin or aluminum?
Aluminum all the way
@@GoodRoads fantastic. I look forward to the video. I've been wanting to cast figures using the wax-like resin i've been seeing online. Very curious of the casting method you'll use.
please make electric longboard wheels
Hey, I'm planning on making some wheels of my own, have you found any way to adjust the durometer with the two part urethane? I'm looking for ~97a/ ~55d.
No, each formula makes a specific duro, you need different formulas for different hardnesses
What do I do if I don’t have a pressure pot?
Dude can I please buy one of your moulds to make my own multicoloured rollerskate wheels? Where can I get one for 55mm wheels Coreless?
I would love to see a 65mm completely off set
Any softer resin?
I would like to match a 75a or 80a
The durometer of the urethane comes from whatever formula you're using and there are a lot of different hardnesses available out there, I just haven't had the chance to try many of them yet. The family of urethanes I've been using from specialtyresin.com come in a bunch of different duros
Thank you
I think I will try
vintage yo yo wheels
can it be used for inline skate wheels?
I think with a hard enough urethane it should work
Did you resin print the final mold?
Yup! It saved me a ton of post-processing and helped me get more accurate bearing seats
@@GoodRoads Awesome! Thank you so much!
Hey! Where do I can find canadian maple sheets for sale?
Check roarockit.com
Where can I find open source please
👍👍
You think you could make a mold for quad roller skates?
I definitely could and that would be a fun project to tackle at some point!
@@GoodRoads Awesome, would be really cool to see I already printed a couple of your molds for these wheels 👍
Could you make me some files for 50mm and 52mm wheels? If so THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You should see if you can make a mold for rollerblade wheels I'm a big Time rollerblader I've gone through so many wheels if you can find a way so that I can make them at home you will save me so much money on wheels
Comigo aconteceu isso, o uretano foi corrompido.....triste
My name is Justin and I am also remaking old skateboard parts. I'm remaking the Motoboard's. I'm all over Google and Facebook and TH-cam. I'd like to talk to you more about
skateboarding.
Can somone tell me how thick is average skateboard????i wanna made one😁
lets se something with a core, like 97mm abec11 wheels... or if you have 2 kg of resin laying around a set of 107mm abec11 style wheels all the e-skaters need something with core they can put pully'ies on
I definitely want to tackle this at some point, but I've got to upgrade this system to work with cores first. And if I'm using that much urethane I want to make sure I've got a really good formula to work with. More R&D is needed!
Nope after the trucks, you got to make bearings and grip tape lol
Oh and hardware
No no no no no... Maybe. If I can find a machinist to collaborate with.
@@GoodRoads you are getting there
Hopefully you still read comments, I would like to reach out to you to help me make a custom mold for a special project. Let me know if you can?
Im trying to make a freestyle wheel
Would you make a mold for me for fingerboard wheels?
Yo im looking to make my own wheel want to collaborate
You should make PU sleeves for e skateboards. They used to be like 30$ now they are 85$. Way overpriced
Are there any true clear off the shelf formulas?
I was just thinking how cool of a time we are living in were we can build are own Skateboard and wheels at home and then I looked at the trucks on your board when you were riding it..
My cnc could mill them but that's not for everybody so I am really looking forward to seeing what you come up with 👍
