The IBLS Wheel Gauge is a low-cost method for checking wheels for conformance to the IBLS Wheel Standard. The gauge can be printed in low-cost PLA or other plastics, or even metal.
Currently the IBLS Wheel Gauge is only available for 7.x gauge wheels.
The IBLS Wheel Gauge is printed in durable PLA Plastic
IBLS Wheel Gauge 7.x indicating use of Tire Width Gauge.
Printing
IBLS Secretary Daris A Nevil prints the gauge as follows:
- Using a low-cost 3D PLA filament printer "IIP 3D Printer"
- Added glass bed for smooth back
- Treat glass with magigoo before each print
- Adjust printer settings to print slightly slower and improve first layer
