Vax Vacuum Cleaner Wheel

thingiverse

I replaced a broken wheel on my Vax Pet Energizer Vacuum cleaner because it was nowhere to be found everywhere I looked. Since no one had this part in stock, I decided to design and make it myself. Initially, I used the vaxwheel1 file and printed it out with PLA plastic, which is what you see in the photos. So far, it seems to be working just fine. The original plan was to use PETG for added strength and flexibility, but since I had already printed some wheels using PLA, I'm keeping an eye on them to see if they hold up. If they do fail, I'll print a new set of wheels using the vaxwheel2 file, which has extra wall width and ribs for even more durability. Both files were created using Autodesk Inventor software.
