I'm done with the new parametric simplified model of the rim.

Printing it.
New code is up.
<EDIT> Ooof, that was going to take a long time to print. 8 hours per rim.
I scaled back some of my excessive thickness and such, and got it down to 4 hours.
Printing.
Looking at this in real life as it prints, this is a pretty big wheel now!

It should pose a suitable challenge for the #MPRT - Modified planetary robotics transmission to spin, and is probably large enough for a good test in grass and such.
I hope I didn't make it too thin, and that my guess for the press fit dimensions for the new trimmer line is right. This one has a 1.6mm wall thickness.
Uploaded the new code again.
</EDIT>
<EDIT2>
The filament holes were too small. Drilled them all out to size though and corrected the model.
Then I put a few filaments in.
They flexed far too much. The rim and the tire aspect ratio are going to have to be narrower.
