Round Spiked Caster Cup for Table Legs on Carpet

thingiverse

I aimed to craft a caster cup for our dining room table, reminiscent of clear plastic ones I've seen before. My goal was to distribute the weight of the table evenly and protect my carpet from getting crushed. The cup keeps the table leg elevated on the spiked carpet protector, but these might also be attached directly to the leg's bottom using glue. To avoid print supports altogether, I envisioned printing the two parts separately. I decided to print both parts with the spikes facing upwards first. Then, I flipped them over and the spiked part slid neatly into the cup. To add extra strength to the caster cups, I opted for 100% infill in my prints. However, this setting might be adjustable depending on specific needs.
