I have had issues with the original rollers of my shower cabin doors as they were running/sliding on plastic wheels with roller bearing hubs. 
Unfortunately those roller bearings are not stainless steel so they rust and seize up quite quickly.
I got tired of buying replacement wheel assemblies and replacing them every year or so.

This wheel is a print is place replacement to solve this issue. When these wear out it is easy to replace them. A single screw holds them in place. No need to take off the whole wheel assembly from the glass door.

The model has a small hole that should be used to inject some grease between the two sliding parts of the wheel. With grease they will last in excess of 2 years.

I have included a .f3d file as well in case anyone needs to adjust the diameter of the wheel.

Slicer setting I have used:
0.2mm layer height
80% infill (minimum) - 100% recommended

Happy 3D printing!
