This is pretty cool. I recently purchased some used rims for my car and they have some pretty bad road rash (scratches). I've been playing with TinkerCAD for a bit trying to create a sanding block that would conform to the rim and the bead but it's been harder than expected. Printytron knocked something out in 3 requests and I think it will work pretty well. So, thanks for this project.

If these models can be converted to a parameterized FreeCAD model (or something similar) then it would be cool to be able to download them and change them dynamically. Say, I want to sand down my 22" rims. I wouldn't have to rerun Printytron, I could just change the parameter in the FreeCAD model. Of course, this could be a paid option.
