Tenor Saxophone Case Wheels

thingiverse

Since I began to feel exhausted carrying my heavy tenor saxophone case, I decided to design wheels for the case. It took five attempts to achieve a fully functional version. I'm confident you'll find it enjoyable! Print Settings Printer: XYZ Printing Da Vinci Jr. 1.0 Rafts: No Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: .4 Infill: Around 15% could be 20 depending on the desired strength Notes: Initially, I printed the wheels at 15% infill, but a recent mishap where I dropped the wheels and they snapped in two down the middle led me to recommend using 20% infill for added durability. Post-Printing Gluing and Wheels To assemble the left and right sides of the wheels, glue the two sections together with a metal bracket in the middle. For aesthetic purposes, wrap electrical tape around the bracket. After gluing, drill a small hole in the axle to screw in the cap that holds the wheel in place. Once complete, attach the wheel to the axle and find a suitable screw for the cap and secure it into place. With this final step, you'll have successfully assembled the wheels. Custom Section Numbers and Rotation Before printing, ensure you rotate the files on your print software to optimize them for your printer's specifications (rotate for optimal results). Additionally, print two wheels and two caps for the axles to complete the project.
