These chairs are awesome (I own three). But the other day, a wheel broke on one of them. A common scenario for office chairs, usually resulting in the chair going into a dumpster and a new one being purchased. But I couldn't bear to throw away such a great piece of office furniture. So I examined the wheel well, took some measurements, and started prototyping a solution in Fusion 360. This is the third version and works perfectly. I print it with five wall loops and a fairly dense infill. Now my chairs all have them in all the wheel wells - one as a repair, and the other 14 as preventative measures!
Note: Although I assumed that all five of the wheel wells would be perfectly identical, there is a little inconsistency in a couple of them. So two out of the five required a little bit of sanding to fit in correctly.
