When I acquired my band saw a few years back it was in bad need of new tyres but the cost of two "big rubber bands" exceeded what I payed for the saw, so I adopted my usual stance on such matters and just ignored it.
Now with the new printer and its large print bed I have a nice TPU tyre for around ?1.50!? ?And people ask "what on earth do you need a 3D printer for?"
Removed from the print bed and stretched a little the serpentine shape is unnoticeable.? I'll have a go at fitting it next week and post the results.
