V slot wheel

thingiverse

I was in dire need of v-slot wheels, but unfortunately, the time it takes to order them from China is simply too long, so I turned to OpenBuilds and used their CAD model to print my own. Of course, bearings and washers are also essential, which I fortunately had on hand from previous projects. I also added the factory file for my specific polycarbonate printing settings to ensure a smooth finish and prevent those pesky zits and blobs that can occur with standard settings. As it turned out, they look fantastic. With just a bit of polishing, they're essentially indistinguishable from genuine polycarbonate wheels. Note that the small imperfections you might notice are actually tiny holes rather than blobs - and rest assured, they have zero impact on their rolling performance. I've scaled down the STL file by 1% to account for the material's shrinkage ratio. I've also included a non-scaled STL file for those who prefer it that way.
