Caster-replacement slippers for office chair

thingiverse

Tired of your furniture rolling erratically across the hardwood floor? Replace those old casters with custom-made slippers that provide a smooth ride. The stems feature tiny fins that gradually grip the floor as you push them forward, outperforming the snap system used by commercial products. They fit most chairs purchased at office supply stores, suggesting they conform to industry standards. You'll need slipper cushions available at dollar stores with a maximum diameter of 27mm. The undersides have a subtle indentation that helps the cushions stay in place. For enhanced bonding, I recommend warming the plastic with a butane lighter before attaching the cushions. After extensive testing for over six months, these custom casters have proven their durability, holding up to heavy use and sliding smoothly across different surfaces while maintaining an attractive appearance. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerGear Printer Model: M2 Infill Percentage: 20% Notes: To achieve optimal results, I recommend using PETG material due to its exceptional strength. However, out of five slippers printed, one was made from PLA, and it withstood heavy use for several days without any damage.
