About this 3D model

This design is inspired by Bridgestone's airless tire concept: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-12-bridgestone-airless-concept-tokyo.html Using the natural springiness of plastic, this design can absorb shock and vibration in a manner similar to a pneumatic tire, but cannot be punctured.

Openscad errored when trying to export an STL otherwise.
