For the single guy that wants to move a wardrobe but not bother his friends.
Clamp these to your wardrobe and just roll with it.
You'll need
- 4 Prints of Base
- 8 Prints of Knob
- 8 Prints of Pad
You'll also need
- 8 m3 x 30mm bolts
- 24 m3 nuts
- 16 8G by 16mm timber screws (well they've worked for me, might want to try 6G)
- 4 castor wheels
For the castors I used 50mm x 53mm soft finish castors with a 42x42mm fitted plate. They have a max load of 30kg per castor and 90kg maximum total. I wouldn't suggest going anywhere near that with printed plastic parts.
Print Settings
Printer:
Prusa I3 Clone
Rafts:
Doesn't Matter
Supports:
No
Infill:
40%
Notes:
I printed with rafts just to ensure good bed adhesion, and I used 40% infill for more strength (these are probably the heaviest thing I've ever printed)
Post-Printing
Installing Nuts
Tolerances are pretty tight on this print, I had to use a clamp to force the nuts into the captive holes.
Put nuts in every captive hole you can find, there should be two in each*Base*, one in each*Knob* and a further one in each*Pad*.It pays to thread a smaller m3 threaded screw into theKnob nuts and use that to force them deeper, it gives you a few extra mm of clamping ability.
Install the bolts
Thread the bolt fully throughKnob, from the nut side to the flat side, I put a little bit of Loctite on it before screwing it home.
Thread the bolt through the outside of theBase (this should just slip through but might require some turning) and screw into the nut on the inside of theBase.
Apply a little Loctite inside the nut on thePad (I also used some CA to help hold the outside, not sure how that'll hold) and screw that onto the protruding end of the bolt inside theBase.
Set aside for the curing time of Loctite
Apply castor wheels
So, I made the castor wheel holes in theBase a touch further apart than they needed to be for my castors so I could put the screws in at a slight angle making sure they don't put too much pressure on the inner wall (which is probably a touch thin, but I was aiming to get the most clamping room I could)
Place the castor wheel on theBase and start screwing the first screw in at a slight angle, go 2 or 3 turns (just enough to be sure it's not going to fall out) then move to the diagonally opposite corner and start screwing that one in on an angle.
Repeat for the other 2 screws before tightening them all down.
