hamster wheel, twin bearings easy print mouse and other small pets

thingiverse

I designed this for my Russian dwarf hamsters, aiming to create a quiet wheel that would be enjoyable for them to use. The goal was achieved with a design that prints in three main parts: the back with its down-facing side, the wheel with its own down-facing side and support for a small flange in the center, and the front facing down. I used ABS plastic but found that PLA might be even simpler to work with. This project requires two 608 bearings - industrial ones are recommended over cheaper skateboard bearings since they can become noisy over time. Additionally, you'll need an 8mm bolt and nut, along with washers and a lock nut if possible.
