Onewheel XR Wraparound Armor

thingiverse

Update 20200604: I've been experimenting with a full TPU Wraparound armor for my Onewheel, and I'm pleased to report that it's ideal for setting the board on the floor at home. One challenge I encountered was that the soft corner pieces would lift off due to double-stick tape, so I redesigned the object to include significant straight material on both sides of the corners. I uploaded "v2" 123dx and STL files along with v2 pictures in black and white. This design serves as a follow-up to my extended sidekicks, offering an alternative for those who want to protect their Onewheel without immediately resorting to trashing it (although I did manage that too, but that's another story). This wraparound armor is designed to work seamlessly with Float Plates and Fender Delete, although it should also be compatible with a fender in place, as long as the fender doesn't extend beyond the rail. One of its standout features is that from most angles, no part of the Onewheel is exposed to the road. You can set it on the ground with the handle and kick it to lower the wheel without scratching any stock components. The same applies when using the stock handle; you can place the board on the tail without damaging it. Once the end pieces are printed, they need to be heated and flexed. I'd love to see a TPU print, but I didn't have the right color available. The end pieces might require a few "links" trimmed off, depending on the temperature used for bending them. The interface between side plates and end piece isn't flawless, but it functions adequately. I printed this design in ABS and employed the colorprint option to highlight different depths, resulting in a visually appealing finish!
