3D Printing VEX parts

Hiya,

Due to the fact that the flex wheels now seem to be out of stock for ages, are we allowed to 3D print the wheels from the offical CAD file?
I saw this on robot events from last year and I was wondering if it still applyed for this year: Legality of 3D Printed VEX Flex Wheel VersaHex Adapters : Robot Events

Many thanks,

Hi @23218Z , welcome to the forums!

I’d recommend utilizing the search tool in the top right corner of your screen. In this case I searched the string “3D printing parts legal” and the results was an incredibly high number of topics. One of which was titled Answered: 3D Printed Parts Legal? Another more recent one was titled Is it legal to use 3d printed parts in VRC. And another was titled 3d printed parts in high school.
All 3 (out of oh so many) of these linked topics should provide you an answer.

Feel free to check this forum feature out the next time you have a question.
It will save you from the barrage of “Read the Manual” replies that are bound to be sent your way.
