IKEA OLOV leg end cap for castor wheel

thingiverse

I wanted to make my cheap and cheerful IKEA desk with OLOV legs more practical in my small apartment. I thought it would be nice to be able to move it from room to room without scratching the timber floors or having to lift it. I decided to add castor wheels, to do this I needed to replace the OLOV leg end caps with a set that could accommodate and retain threaded castor wheels. In this design your choice of wheels can use either a nylock m10 retaining nut dropped into the end cap or the inbuilt thread in the end cap. I have tapered the end cap so that it gets tighter in the leg as it is inserted, I also have hollowed out the end cap to reduce weight and volume of the print.
