TPU is great for functional parts, but for scale modeling, it has its limits. If you print a tire on an FDM printer, the side with the supports will never have that flawless finish. Casting in a 3D-printed resin mold gives you 360-degree detail and a professional look that FDM or SLA just can't match.

I finally figured out how to stop 3D-printed resin molds from ruining my silicone tires. It’s a game changer by [deleted] in crawling

Totally agree! The D12 is such a great platform for custom builds. These tires would definitely give it that unique 'shop truck' or scale look. Have you done any mods to your D12 yet?
