608 Mouse/Rodent Wheel Stand

thingiverse

Wheel stands for rodent wheel by @samxthomas. Shopped for a mouse wheel, found nothing under $15 that was truly silent. Then I found this wheel by @samxthomas (see original to print the wheel), built a stand for it, cannibalized a fidget spinner for the bearing, and BOOM, a $3 completely silent mouse wheel! 2 simple parts, no hardware! The hub is designed to pressure fit into the stand, and into a 608 bearing (which pressure fits into the wheel, of course). I used PLA and it fits nice and tight. Note: This uses a 3mm wall thickness, and has a little bit of flex with the weight of the wheel and mouse. If you try and put a rat on this, it's probably too heavy and would need a re-design.
