Maybe link this ask in the section for 3d printers to generate more views. someone might be able to produce them. Im sure the dish style wheel would be easy enough. The spoke one.. may be quite the challenge. But some of these guys have mad skill with that sort of stuff.

Okay, I'll bite... What does "2.5 size" mean exactly.
I assume it means 2.5 Inches, but you can never be too sure in this hobby.
The size matters quite a lot actually, because there are basically two types of 3D printers, FDM and resin.
If we are talking 2.5" here then FDM might be able to do something with the spoked version, but if it's the size next to the match head shown in the photo then you would have to go resin, and then I would be worried about strength...
The filled in wheel, a piece of cake either way.
There are a couple of designs out there already, just depends on how true to scale you want to be... (I take it not match head crazy... although that last example might be how they got there!!)

If all you can do is the solid one, that's fine. I need it in 2.4 or 2.5 inches, plz.....

For the solid wheel with a flat backside, you can omit detail, if you like, if it'll help expedite the finished product.

Ok, so who do we link to this thread to make these wheels a reality? I hope to have at least a prototype aircraft done in just a few days......

Well, I have THAT as well.......If I can get the first fuselage done & a pattern made from it, you might be amazed at how fast my "factory" can produce aircraft. With only 3 channels, I don't have to worry about wing-warping.
(Although I want to do a wing-warping version in the future).
