Wheels (disc, curly/straight spoke, multiple diameters)

I've put my customisable code for creating wheels onto Thingiverse, where it is licensed CC-BY-NC-SA.

You can use it to generate STL files for various types of wheel in various sizes: you can specify disc, curly or straight spoke, the number of spokes, the diameter of the wheel and various other things. In theory you can do this customising on the Thingiverse website with nothing more than a web browser and a Thingiverse account - you just dial in the settings that you want and hit 'create thing'.

In practice I find this doesn't work, and you need to download the (free) OpenSCAD software, and then dial in your settings and render the STL file.
