Yes getting the support material out of the outer grooves is tricky, I used a narrow file with some use of a razor saw for the stubborn bits. The worst is the side closest to the print surface.

Hi Alwyn, looks like plan B worked, thanks!
and look what Santa dropped through my letterbox this morning, looks like I’m going to be busy.

The yellow motor/gearbox combos are for use in a 1/16 Willy’s I’ve printed, I was struggling finding anything small enough to fit.

Very lucky man Mr Wayne those little motors and gearboxes are right up my alley. Very similar setup in my Panzer 38-t build. Can wait to see those tires mounted on the rims

That's great Wayne, can't wait to see the pics as it comes together.

I also got the lego tires. but they're much wider than I thought they'd be. I think they're too wide for rear tires on a deuce and a half.

I think what would be ideal would be the tires that Lee used from Germany and then 3D print the rims to fit the HL 5mm hex.

Ive got various tyres to hand, I’ll post some pics as soon as I can

Thinking of getting in to 3d printing.
