A ski to make pulling ice chests with thin wheels through the sand or snow. Uses 550 paracord and a paracord lock (see below) to secure the ski to the wheel axle. Supports up to 215mm diameter x 80mm wide wheels (about 8.5" x 3.125").
Note: This has not been weight tested to find out the infill percentage needed for a particular weight.
Printing four of these will use around 256mm x 256mm of bed space. At 25% infill, the print time is about 19.5 hours and around 675 grams of filament on a Bambulab X1C.
Additional hardware
- double hole paracord lock (I used Amazon. Search for “double hole paracord lock”)
- 550 paracord (I used about a 90cm (about 36") length of paracord for a wheel that is 16cm (about 6.5") tall. So that would be around 360cm ( about 12' of paracord for four wheels)
Assembly:
- Thread the paracord through on of the holes on the rear of the ski towards the front.
- Continue threading through the front hole on the same side (back to front).
- Thread back through the other front hole (front to back) and continue to the rear hole.
- Thread through this hole and then leave about 150mm (about 6 inches) of paracord on each side. This should allow enough slack to slip over the wheel and on to the axle.
- Thread the paracord lock on to the paracord and melt the ends to prevent fraying.
Usage:
- Place ski under wheel.
- Loosen the paracord enough to place both cords over the wheel and down on to the axle.
- Tighten cords by pulling slack through the paracord lock.
