Only a few small test pieces have been printed to test the fits; otherwise this is still non-printed and under development.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!
UPDATE: Added “Side Race 2.stl”
I saw a Facebook post showing a 3D printed exercise wheel. It looked challenging, so I decided to attempt designing my own. I have two indoor cats that desperately need some more exercise.
As I've designed this, I realized the cost of materials is approaching the cost of purchasing a lower cost wheel. This may end up being nothing but a design exercise for me, more than an exercise wheel for the cats.
Specs
- Wheel diameter 48 inches
- Total height 49 inches
- Running surface diameter 46 inches
- Width 10 inches
This is a large print
Note: I've oriented the stl's as I designed them for printing. They should print without supports. In Cura, I enabled "Bridge Settings" and left the settings at default.
Print Quantities
- Wheel Section.stl - Quantity 12
- Side Race.stl - Quantity 12
- Side Race 2.stl - Quantity 12
- Stand.stl - Quantity 2
Cura's estimated print time, using a .4 mm nozzle at .3 mm resolution, is more than 9 days of continuous printing. Therefore, a larger nozzle is required. A .8 mm nozzle at .6 mm resolution lowers the print time to 2 days.
I have not tested a print with the .8 mm nozzle but the previews in Cura seem to look okay.
As I said, this is a large print and requires a large bed. My Hypercube build volume is 300x300x270. This model just fits.
Parts to complete build:
- Side Race Screws: Quantity 24 - M3x8 Flat head
- Stand Screws: Quantity 4 - M6x10 Flat Head
- Skate Axles: Quantity 4 Axles - MUXSAM 10Pcs 0.24"/6mm OD Inline Skate Axle Screws
- Skate Wheels: Quantity 4 Wheels - NEWCOMDIGI 8 Pack Inline Skate Wheels
- 3/4 inch x 36 inch Square Aluminum Tube
- EVA Dense Foam Pad (something for kitty to run on and not get their claws caught)
Continuing Development:
- The current design requires drilling and tapping the ¾ inch aluminum tube. Without the necessary tools the current design is not buildable.
