Pinewood Derby Wheel Install Bench

thingiverse

This is a simple tool to assist with pressing the wheels onto a pinewood derby car while ensuring that the wheel maintains an optimal distance from the car body. The slotted vertical surface has a thickness of .8mm which maintains the gap when you press the axle and wheen into the body from the outside. Pinewood_Bench.stl is for installing wheels into drilled axle holes Pinewood_Bench_SlotGuide.stl has a raised surface for the axle slots, which helps ensure that the axle will remain high up in the slot while installing. I recommend using TinCharMan's wheel push tool for pushing axles in. Saves fingers and thumbs from getting sore! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4706793 I'm new to 3D printing and to creating, so be easy on me! I hope someone finds this useful.
