Did you remove all of the fillets? Doing that cut supports in half after I took the draft off and made my own spokes so it would be prettier.

What diameter nozzle are you using? I have not printed it myself but Repetier says it can get 7 shells of thickness on the outer edge using a 0.4mm nozzle.

I removed the indexing holes that align the two halves so the part can lie flat on the bed. I also chamfered the outer lips (that retain the tire). Otherwise I made no visual changes.

I am not sure how removing the fillets would change anything. Do you mean the on the outside (where the inner tube would rest against)? If so, I did reduce those to being a 50deg overhang which my printer has no trouble doing without support. The outer rim that holds the tire on is the real concern with support for me.

EDIT:
I think I understand what you meant. I was intending for the one I made to be printed upside down compared to the way I believe you were printing it. Reason I chose the way I did was so that the hex pattern would come out right but to each their own.
