what would you call those. Those tires almost look deflated as you would say

This is what I wrote, it refers to sidewall bulging (the proper term is deflection), not the flat spot and my comments are based on personal experience working with aircraft:

"... the tire appears deflated. The sidewalls were quite sturdy on them. "

"Note that this is under the weight of three ground crew, yet no evident bulge"

"... more to show little bulging"

Deflection is important in landing on airstrips to absorb the shock and a reason why some tires require high pressure.

In the end, it is your 3D model so...

I will agree with you on that

Its just a test, \

You passed

VAT heater

What is that?

Different tread and worked on making it flat and with a bulge......also installed a VAT heater that keeps the resin above 90 degrees.

Which vat heater are you using? Do you have a link? I have been looking into getting one.

This is what Im using to heat my resin. Think of a heated blanket for the VAT tank. The VAT is what holds the resin. I've had it about a week and so far very happy with it.

This looks to be a really good print! smooth with no big step lines. The bulge does look to be about 50% too much. I look at car tires a lot. Today I saw a van with a very low tire. The rear tire on the right was like looking at a square cross section. Minimal sidewall bulge on it. The left tire was just looking forward to being flat. It was really weird looking in that you still had the square cross section that was a little lower. Sidewalls were still fairly flat but right at the ground the sidewall made a very pronounced bump dXb like this.

Thats the one I have been researching. It works well?

Thats the one I have been researching. It works well? Very gets nice and warm. It comes with a stick on celsius gage. Its kinda hard to read. I'm going to order a different one from amazon.
