Mechanical engineer here. I would recommend adding a rib between the underside of your stand and your wheels in your print to stiffen the print. The problem with FDM printing is the layer lines you have left behind, and your design creates shear and bending forces along those layers in your stand. My recommendation would be to outsource the creation of the part to someone like Xometry who can use SLS or MJF manufacturing to melt those layers together to a uniform part.

The bumper is made of HDPE, which is a great material for injection molding but thoroughly sucks for 3D printing. I don't think there's a printable material that can stand up to the abuse and the elements like HDPE can, at least not within realm of reasonably obtainable materials.
I live in a country where the onewheel is not available and even if is the roads cannot support it. To add onto that I do not own a 3D printer nor can I get access to the PPA material. IDK why I spend 22 minutes of my life watching this instead of studying but I have no regrets.

I dont know why this channel has so many haters for no reason. He made a solution for a problem he had, and it works.
The manufacturer sells a replacement bumber for 55 USD, that’s insanely expensive for an injection molded part that size. You could make a full replacement bumper that includes the wheels and probably sell for around the same price or less as the original. And people would be removing their original bumper to install it, which isn’t lost because if they don’t up loving your product or when it naturally gets worn out like they still have their original bumper to slap back on. This is assuming the removal is very simple, 2-4 mounting screws, but i may be wrong
You are missing out that the tops he replaced to be able to bolt this on cost $325 for the kit. so yes a replacement top part that has this built in would also work, and you could slide in a pair of steel rods in it to increase strength and not need to be part of the bumper.
A third party makes a simular product for the front bumper called fangs which is more that double the price of stock bumpers. The reason they are priced the way they are is because of how strong they need to be. If you ride nothing but trail a set of stock bumpers might only last 50 miles which shows that even that strength is not enough.
There are several related terms that are very important in manufacturing. EOS (Economics Of Scale) and ROI (Return On Investment) EOC - the more you make, the less each one costs to produce. Build 1 car = $$$$$, build 1,000,000 $$. ROI - Invest $$$$$$ in equipment, facilities, etc., but have a return of only $$$ = bankrupt.
Hey I dont usually comment on videos, but I just gotta say that I enjoyed watching the process of the video, how you stumbled across problems, how you solved them, and even the fact that you were asking for help. I am working towards being a designer, build solutions to problems and this process is pretty much it, how you go up and down until you find a solution. Its nice to empathize on the process. Good luck on your next projects.
I would utilize the screws that hold the bumper on, even if longer screws are needed. That way it would work without the upgraded footpads. Also, camber the wheels like athletic wheelchairs for more stability and handling.
He said the bumper is a consumable. Just integrate the wheels and stand into a replacement bumper. No need for the upgraded footpads, and the bumper, wheels and kickstand would all be molded together as opposed to separate parts.
@@HaxAras ya i think he was so tunnel vision on trying to make it easily removable at first he avoided the obvious screw holes. Then when he discovered the replacement footpads went down that path, ending with screws on the top.
also it's CF, so you should avoid inhaling dust i.e. don't saw or dremel the supports or at least use a respirator... great materials come with greater responsibilities (...and price tags i guess)
yeah I'd never mess with any carbon fiber stuff without serious PPE. And it should be painted or similar to lock in any stray fibers. Sure it might not be that dangerous but it's silly to take the risk.
Well fortunately he has a youtube video showing him designing his solution and even talking to an employee at OneWheel. I imagine he would have a case if they decided to run with this without significant changes to the design.
@@TheHronar a case for what? No patents have been made, and at most they would get an outcry from some online people.. Just fyi, I hope he gets to collaborate etc, but legally it's patent or no dough which sucks :/
There are so many things to do with this as improvements. This guy is clearly not an engineer. I would have engineered the kickstand as a triangle which would have supported his full body weight without having to resort to specialized materials. This whole unit would be better as an integrated component into the main body, which would solve the rigidity issue. As a prototype of an idea, it's fine, but not worth anything beyond, "Hey, stick roller wheels on it." Would require obtaining a patent to have anything he could sue over.
Yeah, he doesnt really think in the way you could design products with 3d printing. His parts look more suited for milling or injection molding than FDM. He could connect the inner wheel forks, made the stand as wide as the printed part is, and reduce the number of faces. I pointed out, that the weak spots are around the round holes for the screws. Next design: no ribs oder structure to stiffen that up
Several folks missing the point here. Sure, he could solve the problem by remembering quarters, but clearly, the point is to create entertaining and educational content around engineering and design.
The irony how hard you miss the point.... Imagine thinking this content is educational... pure entertainment purposes chasing views not dishing out an education
Well, plus remembering quarters isn't a solution for everyone. And while his solution isn't for everyone either, it is an improved solution for far more people.
Your earlier prototype using just the nubbins was pretty much perfect, and even though it tore at the plastic going on and off you built it so it could stay on by staying out of the way... so no one would be taking it on and off all time anyway. I would recommend you offer that as a product too for those who want to set and forget. Loved watching your whole process, we learn so much through our failures and it's great for everyone to see this in action. ♥
Multiple things here: 1.) make the whole system into a new bumper(s) 2.) extendable wheels for different height users 3.) luggage works because the weight is slightly behind the wheels or axis of rotation. Add a mechanism and separate handle to the other side of the board to have the handle extend away from the board. The handle will be more ergonomic and better for finger fatigue. Do all of that and you’ll have a way better product
Hey, slight for suggestion for you. I have never used a Onewheel in my life, but I loved the video. Now, I know that the built-in handle at the front is very convenient for this whole thing to work, however, the length of the Onewheel seems a little short (even with the added wheels at the back). So, when you are pulling this thing around the store, it creates a slightly awkward contortion of your body to pull this thing along with you. And, of course, the problem would be amplified for anyone taller than yourself. It would be like pulling around carry-on luggage around an airport that was a little too short. It would hurt your back in the long run. So, I think you should increase the overall length by adding a new handle at the front (kinda in the same way you added the wheels at the back). The slightly extended handle would make it easier on you and others when pulling it around a store. I am sure you can figure out a way how to make it not interfere with the ground.
@@JusticeExplorer I am not sure I understand what you mean. In the same way that the new wheels at the back don't interfere with the ground when you're riding the Onewheel as you normally would, the new handle at the front would work in the same way. It would be designed not to interfere with the ground when you're riding it.
@@normalchannel2185 I never said suitcases do it. I used the example of a suitcase, which was too short, to show how it causes a slight awkward contortion of the body (essentially causing you to reach too far back because of its low height). At no point did I come anywhere close to saying that suitcases have clip-on handles. It's bizarre that you came to that conclusion. Not such a normal channel after all.
I don't have or desire to have a onewheel, or any similar type of personal transport like this, but the way you showed your process, from problem, through iterations, to solution is really inspiring, If you throw a little one on the other end of it, you can hang your grocery basket on it while you shop.
You can design this so it's sturdy enough without the composite filament. Oh and probably use shoulder bolts for the bearings to ride on, not fully threaded bolts.
yup! Just some gussets needed to prevent the thing from flexing along the hinge point, placed appropriately it would reinforce the bolting surface too and a gusset to sturdy-up the kickstand and it would be good to go!
exactly my thinking... just making things a little bit thicker in a couple spaces would do a lot. but for some reason he wants it way thinner than it needs to be.
@@fiery_transition I have to give it to him though, he managed to make it happen despite the lack of experience. How can we help him improve? I'd propose to make excessive use of Finite Element Analysis to build an organic understanding of the weak points and the impacts of thickening the structure, adding ribs and perhaps eliminating stress risers where they occur. Modeling the anisotropic properties of printed objects is more difficult, but the way it has been sidestepped by changing the printing orientation is totally valid for the time being imo.
@@hardwareful i was very suprised when he broke it to find the weak point, and then proceeded to just change the material instead of strengthening the weak point
This has been the problem I have bringing my one wheel to work, I hate carrying into the building. Thank you so much for doing the design work, can't wait to print one out! Harumph, OneWheel, this is soooo needed
@@Christopher_T_Paul if you've got enough time and money, you just keep making your claims more narrow and eventually you'll get one. But I don't necessarily recommend that approach.
Very cool! I would use washers for those top bolts. Spread the load to prevent crushing the plastic. Also for the bottom side, widen the plate to cover the bolt holes, but leave the holes exposed. Print a second piece that bridges the the two holes inserts into them. Use slightly longer bolts to secure. Flare your stand to make it wider/more stable.
Honestly great point. Whole problem w magnet/snap design was the wheel bracket rotating around the mounting point, pulling away from the existing bottom mount holes. Screws go thru the wheel mount and bumper, hooks around front with snap fit could work
And make the stand part to be something you flip ~270 degrees (attached to the bolts that hold wheels) so that it stays out of the way until you need it. Overall idea is nice but there is way too much unnecessary parts and requirements needed for the design.
If I can throw my hat in the ring for naming it, can I please suggest: ‘the slidekick’? Slide because of the smooth wheeling you get, kick for kick stand, and a play on words for sidekick, as in, your little helper for your board 😄 great video Morley! 🤙
Great innovation, Morley! The Wheelstand solves a real problem for OneWheel users. Love how you iterated through prototypes to create a functional, removable dolly that doubles as a kickstand. The PPACF material looks incredibly strong. Awesome to see you're sharing the files for free too. Looking forward to seeing if Future Motion picks this up!
@@josephcatano4705 yeah no. Unless you have an extremely beefy Keychain it can be easily destroyed. Or again they keys can be easily removed from basically all common Keychains. And also even if you have an extremely beefy Keychain it is still only hold into the cart with a thin 3D print. Easily ripped off.
I'm an industrial designer. Just a thought - did you think about using the slotted nuts on the front for a modified foot stop - make a functioning handle. Then instead of the kickstand - put the wheels where that is so the lip / front edge of the onewheel and the two cargo wheels then become the three points of contact with the ground. You'd roll it behind you, but flipped over. You'd also avoid something sticking several inches off the back that can get sheared off going over a curb. The built in handle looks like an area that could pick up lots of road contaminants and dust, etc. Kinda weird that's where they want people to put their fingers.
Another designer here. I wouldn't bother with the single price part that wraps around the lip. I'd simply make 2 separate (mirrored) peices that attach at the top of the board at the bolt mounting points. If you extend the model into the center of the board this will prevent the wheels from "leavering" upwards. (It's the same principle as having a board nailed down at the end and picking it up at the other, if you move the nails towards the center more it reduces the lever and adds more material behind the nails to counter you from picking it up.) These pieces could have a smaller kickstand built into them that extends upwards after the wheel mounting point.
Heres an idea for the an attachment for the other end of the board - A foldable cart thingy, so that you can place the stuff you want to buy conveniently onto the board you are rolling around anyway. :D
„I love my one wheel, it’s my favorite way to move around! It only has one problem: it just has one wheel so I added two small ones“ Just for the irony, not to hate. I admire the creativity and the craftsmanship. Always good to see dedication and passion work together, GJ!
yeah be careful with cf filled filaments, the super tiny carbon fiber can get stuck in your skin and usually stays there, but after you are done printing it “should” be fine
This video was sick. So well done - the story was engrossing yet appropriately brisk - I never felt the urge to skip ahead once. Outstanding job on solving a problem through invention.
I really like that you didn't time lapse over all the nitty gritty decision making and troubleshooting. too many makers don't give enough insight into the actual development of a project or product.
The funniest part about this is that instead of printing all this stuff, he could have just printed one of those coin keychains specifically for those carts.
It doesn't matter what the companies' stance on repair is. If it's built simply it will be repaired. I would be very much surprised if is as difficult as a Segway/Ninebot to repair.
I really liked your video @MorleyKert. Don't let any of the comments get you down. It's "freedom of speech" and I don't think they were all trying to crap on you. Suggestions and safety tips mostly. I really liked it. I have been interested in one wheels since a couple of days ago when I watched an animal drive one so perfectly on a youtube video. I subscribed to your channel, man. You do everything with a smile. Your videos make me feel good. THX!
@@opiumdontmiss It was obvious where the part was going to break and since the mechanism has to deform to click it was also obvious which way not to print, not to mention the attempts with the magnets. Some have to make more mistakes and more iterations to get to the final 'functional' prototype. He is probably a better 'engineer' than yesterday, that's already something.
Here you can get a free plastic coin in shop, to unlock cart. Also there are printable solutions that you can insert, unlock and immediately remove from the cart. Add such to your keychain - problem solved!
Putting magnets going the other direction or even shorter magnets will keep it from rolling so easily and adding 2 clamps with wheels added to it would work great! They go down flush when fastened down! Also, sliding threaded locks is so obvious that we all forgot it lol The kickstand could go down flat and fold out...
You made this so fucking overcomplicated dude. Those two bottom holes were the solution. Two bolts, two low profile nuts. Epoxy two nuts into the plastic then drive the bolts into those two holes to keep it, maybe with plastic jackets to snug up the connection. Basically what you did with the top using the existing bottom profile.
@@christianreynolds781 sorry I didn't watch the whole video, but at the beginning he clearly states (2:02), he wants it to be removable, quote "No superglue, no drilling into the one wheel" which he then broke later in the video that I didn't see
He also didn't want to make any permanent modifications to the one wheel where as this is all removable and can be returned back to stock. Besides, he wouldn't have learnt anything had he epoxy'd in some nuts and would probably need to re-do it if he replaces that part.
Thanks for sharing the files. I've often wondered why this didn't exist. In my head I imagined basically Fangs bumper with extend-o or fold out wheels, but the kickstand is another great addition.
This video annoyed me. So much. Halfway through the video you talk about how integrating magnets is not the right path as the user experience is worsened due to modification of the board, because you want to make a product that can be mass integrated by one wheel users. But what you made doesn't work with 99% of boards that people own and I highly doubt the "many people" that you say experience this problem will go out of their way to purchase a $325 base kit just to have this added function instead of: 1. bringing quarters for the cart or 2. just dealing with it and carrying the board. I think the product itself is fine but introducing the video as a journey of prototyping a part that seamlessly integrates with the boards of average users, just to give up and not even buy, but RECIEVE FOR FREE a $325 base kit that can be used to attach LITERALLY ANYTHING to the board seems so woeful and so against the whole idea of this project.
Simple solution... print yourself a cart key. Pick the coin they use as a template, add a bit of a handle so you can grip it or stick it on a lanyard and pop it in when you arrive, pop it out when you're done. Add a small holder for it on your wheel and it goes where the wheel goes. On the other hand, its a pretty elegant solution and durability and mass production can be solved by making an injection mould for it.
those two holes you were tabbing into... assuming those are screw holes for the board why not get some longer screws and countersink them into a bracket to attach to the board instead of replacing the board's plates? install is then just take out the two old screws and screw in two longer new ones with the bracket? its not like your using those wheels to pop a wheelie onto. keep the same shape as the first one just make holes where the pegs are and have a angle for the countersinking.
I keep thinking about this. What if it hooked on the front in the middle, so it's like a cool looking front wheel. Come on Morley, if anyone can figure this out man, it's you!
Brilliant. Prototype 4 is also how I get the fit right while reducing print times and material waste. What if the kickstand was able to be folded down when not in use. Then it could rotate out and lock in place when you roll it up onto the wheels? Maybe using the clicker style locking mechanism in a pen. You could also swap out the bolts for thumb screws for an easy tool free removal and attachment 🤷 I'm definitely going to try that CF filament. I print wheels for my hang glider that ride on a hub, but the hubs will bust went too much force is applied. I was going to have them machined out of aluminum but this might be an alternative worth trying first haha. Thanks for a great video
My neighbour is in his 70s and has a heart problem which had him go to surgery and come back with only 28% of it functioning properly. Depending on the situation, he uses either an electric one-wheeler or two-wheeler to move around at ALL times, even inside malls and grocery shops to avoid straining his heart. The guards already know him pretty well because it is he who scolds them for trying to not let him move around using them, which could kill him.

Design is so crazy. When I saw the fst, I thought we were thinking the sane thing. We were not. First video, I love the channel already. My thought was way not keep the fst idea, add wheels directly to the foot blocks. The kickstand could come off in a “X”.
I would not attach the wheel assembly directly to the platform using the screws. That makes it difficult to remove the wheels. I would make it a two-part assembly. One low-profile part-1 would be permanently attached to the platform with screws. And then the wheel assembly would be attached to that part-1. ... In fact, you could even design part-1 to be permanently fixed to the original platform rather than the platform that has top screws on it. And like many people suggested, you could simply replace the original screws that live under the original platform with longer screws to permanently attach the part-1 that I suggest here. ... You could also make it a three-part assembly where the stand would be removable from the wheels assembly.
I couldn't stop thinking about adding an attachment to the other end and add like two rods with wheels on the end on both sides that could be rotated to be parallel to the onewheel for driving around but when rotated out they would enable you to drive it like a hopping cart or something. Putting it to another level, adding some net between the rods or somewhere would absolutely enable you to use it as a shopping cart in case of forgetting the coin for the actual shopping cart.
I love the convenience here, and I have never even ridden one of these things! however, something to note, you've also made the device easier to steal.
I suggest you make it so that both ends of the One Wheel is covered. Make the ends a bit wider than the board. The end pieces should have holes in them that extend out over the edges of the board. Use these holes to put hollow tubes from one end to the other end. Which will allow the new end covers to be held together.with in the tubes out two more tubes in the first two tubes and attach the tubes together at one end. This will form the suitcase like telescoping handle.
Just to be clear: the quarter isn’t the real problem 😂. Many stores (especially in the city) don’t even have shopping carts, so no choice but to carry the OneWheel around (or ideally, wheel it around).

This was driving me fucking crazy the entire video. It's easily the most obvious, and simplest way of going about this.
@@HaxAras ya i think he was so tunnel vision on trying to make it easily removable at first he avoided the obvious screw holes. Then when he discovered the replacement footpads went down that path, ending with screws on the top.

That PPA-CF looks cool but... $200 a kilogram? That’s basically a precious metal.
CNC cut aluminum.
A mass produced one would be far cheaper.
@@rhulerII or use a cast mold so there's much less waste and quicker manufacturing
also it's CF, so you should avoid inhaling dust i.e. don't saw or dremel the supports or at least use a respirator... great materials come with greater responsibilities (...and price tags i guess)
yeah I'd never mess with any carbon fiber stuff without serious PPE. And it should be painted or similar to lock in any stray fibers. Sure it might not be that dangerous but it's silly to take the risk.
Bro just spent all his time reinvented the landsurf fangs
*vine boom sound effect*
I wouldn’t be surprised if OneWheel took this idea, tweaked it slightly, and sold it as their own.
That sounds like a OneWheel thing to do.
Well fortunately he has a youtube video showing him designing his solution and even talking to an employee at OneWheel. I imagine he would have a case if they decided to run with this without significant changes to the design.
@@TheHronar a case for what? No patents have been made, and at most they would get an outcry from some online people.. Just fyi, I hope he gets to collaborate etc, but legally it's patent or no dough which sucks :/
There are so many things to do with this as improvements. This guy is clearly not an engineer. I would have engineered the kickstand as a triangle which would have supported his full body weight without having to resort to specialized materials. This whole unit would be better as an integrated component into the main body, which would solve the rigidity issue. As a prototype of an idea, it's fine, but not worth anything beyond, "Hey, stick roller wheels on it." Would require obtaining a patent to have anything he could sue over.
The video would serve as the copywrite if it came to court
Make it to where the tail has a hook, too. You could then hang it off the cart as well.
THERE IS NO CART IN HIS UNIVERSE!!!
Man has 3D printer. Man does not 3D print custom bumper.
wtf that’s so much smarter 😭
yeah he could've modified the existing bumper to include wheels and a stand
Makes the bumper which is a consumable more expensive while the stand is supposedly a one time purchase
Yeah, he doesnt really think in the way you could design products with 3d printing.
His parts look more suited for milling or injection molding than FDM. He could connect the inner wheel forks, made the stand as wide as the printed part is, and reduce the number of faces.
I pointed out, that the weak spots are around the round holes for the screws. Next design: no ribs oder structure to stiffen that up
@@hanshans4715@Slant3D just did all of that lol
I applaud you for identifying a problem then going through the entrepreneurial/innovator journey to get to an end product...bravo!
This was probably one of the best advertisements I've seen so far
Several folks missing the point here. Sure, he could solve the problem by remembering quarters, but clearly, the point is to create entertaining and educational content around engineering and design.
Stupid design for a simple problem.
people get tunnel vision.. like that's one scenario vs this solves that for a lot of various situations
It failed on both counts, and it'd need significant improvements to be mass produced. He couldn't even trace a picture in Fusion 360.
The irony how hard you miss the point....
Imagine thinking this content is educational... pure entertainment purposes chasing views not dishing out an education
Well, plus remembering quarters isn't a solution for everyone. And while his solution isn't for everyone either, it is an improved solution for far more people.
Your earlier prototype using just the nubbins was pretty much perfect, and even though it tore at the plastic going on and off you built it so it could stay on by staying out of the way... so no one would be taking it on and off all time anyway. I would recommend you offer that as a product too for those who want to set and forget.
Loved watching your whole process, we learn so much through our failures and it's great for everyone to see this in action. ♥
Or use the screws that go into those holes as attachments from underneath,
There’s obviously a threaded insert in the board there somewhere.
Multiple things here:
1.) make the whole system into a new bumper(s)
2.) extendable wheels for different height users
3.) luggage works because the weight is slightly behind the wheels or axis of rotation. Add a mechanism and separate handle to the other side of the board to have the handle extend away from the board. The handle will be more ergonomic and better for finger fatigue.
Do all of that and you’ll have a way better product
my guy, please grab a shopping basket at the entrance
If only they made a cart of some type.
This video was awful for that one reason. I literally made a small speech about it to my wife. Now to block this dweeb forever somehow...
Right?!
@@FPChris Are you suggesting some kind of basket with wheels on? I'd love to see a prototype.
@@CleverHans1 literally how the shopping cart was invented. :)
Hey, slight for suggestion for you. I have never used a Onewheel in my life, but I loved the video.
Now, I know that the built-in handle at the front is very convenient for this whole thing to work, however, the length of the Onewheel seems a little short (even with the added wheels at the back).
So, when you are pulling this thing around the store, it creates a slightly awkward contortion of your body to pull this thing along with you. And, of course, the problem would be amplified for anyone taller than yourself.
It would be like pulling around carry-on luggage around an airport that was a little too short. It would hurt your back in the long run.
So, I think you should increase the overall length by adding a new handle at the front (kinda in the same way you added the wheels at the back). The slightly extended handle would make it easier on you and others when pulling it around a store. I am sure you can figure out a way how to make it not interfere with the ground.
Then it'd become a tradeoff between comfortability+control over the rolling one wheel and force required to hold the board upright.
@@JusticeExplorer I am not sure I understand what you mean.
In the same way that the new wheels at the back don't interfere with the ground when you're riding the Onewheel as you normally would, the new handle at the front would work in the same way. It would be designed not to interfere with the ground when you're riding it.
Just how suitcases do it. Slap on a premade assembly lol
@@normalchannel2185 I never said suitcases do it. I used the example of a suitcase, which was too short, to show how it causes a slight awkward contortion of the body (essentially causing you to reach too far back because of its low height). At no point did I come anywhere close to saying that suitcases have clip-on handles. It's bizarre that you came to that conclusion. Not such a normal channel after all.
@@dexanexa damn I was just giving a idea
I don't have or desire to have a onewheel, or any similar type of personal transport like this, but the way you showed your process, from problem, through iterations, to solution is really inspiring, If you throw a little one on the other end of it, you can hang your grocery basket on it while you shop.
Not stoke, Shannara Chronicles.
You can design this so it's sturdy enough without the composite filament.
Oh and probably use shoulder bolts for the bearings to ride on, not fully threaded bolts.
But then you don't get to use a sponsor!
yup! Just some gussets needed to prevent the thing from flexing along the hinge point, placed appropriately it would reinforce the bolting surface too and a gusset to sturdy-up the kickstand and it would be good to go!
exactly my thinking... just making things a little bit thicker in a couple spaces would do a lot. but for some reason he wants it way thinner than it needs to be.
@@fiery_transition I have to give it to him though, he managed to make it happen despite the lack of experience.
How can we help him improve? I'd propose to make excessive use of Finite Element Analysis to build an organic understanding of the weak points and the impacts of thickening the structure, adding ribs and perhaps eliminating stress risers where they occur.
Modeling the anisotropic properties of printed objects is more difficult, but the way it has been sidestepped by changing the printing orientation is totally valid for the time being imo.
@@hardwareful i was very suprised when he broke it to find the weak point, and then proceeded to just change the material instead of strengthening the weak point
This has been the problem I have bringing my one wheel to work, I hate carrying into the building. Thank you so much for doing the design work, can't wait to print one out! Harumph, OneWheel, this is soooo needed
That’s awesome to hear!!
Three wheels @@MorleyKert
@@MorleyKert it's a ThreeWheel now
Without patenting your design, I give it exactly a zero-percent chance Future Motion will work with you. And patents are pretty pricey.
That is IF they even give you a patent
@@Christopher_T_Paul if you've got enough time and money, you just keep making your claims more narrow and eventually you'll get one. But I don't necessarily recommend that approach.
I wouldn't rule out that they would still work with him, but it certainly won't be his big payday
@@0xbenedikt I hope you're right. I've been pretty unimpressed with Future Motion, so maybe I'm biased.
This video can stop FM from getting a patent as this acts as prior art.
Love watching other folks go through the design process and not quitting when your firstish idea turns out to be shit. Good luck with this thing!
Very cool! I would use washers for those top bolts. Spread the load to prevent crushing the plastic. Also for the bottom side, widen the plate to cover the bolt holes, but leave the holes exposed. Print a second piece that bridges the the two holes inserts into them. Use slightly longer bolts to secure. Flare your stand to make it wider/more stable.
Why you did not screwed with the screw holes that already has it won't need any extra accessory
This ^
Honestly great point. Whole problem w magnet/snap design was the wheel bracket rotating around the mounting point, pulling away from the existing bottom mount holes. Screws go thru the wheel mount and bumper, hooks around front with snap fit could work
I kept waiting for him to realize he could just get slightly longer screws and have the mounting issue sorted.
And make the stand part to be something you flip ~270 degrees (attached to the bolts that hold wheels) so that it stays out of the way until you need it.
Overall idea is nice but there is way too much unnecessary parts and requirements needed for the design.
@@Omili agreed, flip out stand is exactly where my brain went too
If I can throw my hat in the ring for naming it, can I please suggest: ‘the slidekick’? Slide because of the smooth wheeling you get, kick for kick stand, and a play on words for sidekick, as in, your little helper for your board 😄 great video Morley! 🤙
What about the thirdwheels
This would actually fit great with his lack of engineering experience, too, because the function of wheels isn't to slide but to roll.
Great innovation, Morley! The Wheelstand solves a real problem for OneWheel users. Love how you iterated through prototypes to create a functional, removable dolly that doubles as a kickstand. The PPACF material looks incredibly strong. Awesome to see you're sharing the files for free too. Looking forward to seeing if Future Motion picks this up!

You can 3d print a cart key that goes on your keychain. No quarter ever needed.
But the coin only comes out when you bring the trolley back. So you will have your keychain hanging from it?
@@maxz69 .... yah, no-one can take it without another cart
@@josephcatano4705
What Keychain are you using where the keys aren't easily removable? Or that can't be broken by a strong pull?
@@Jehty_ metal?
@@josephcatano4705 yeah no.
Unless you have an extremely beefy Keychain it can be easily destroyed.
Or again they keys can be easily removed from basically all common Keychains.
And also even if you have an extremely beefy Keychain it is still only hold into the cart with a thin 3D print. Easily ripped off.
Dude! This is sweet I have this problem all of the time when I'm wheeling around and swing by the store. Such a great design! Well done.
I'm an industrial designer. Just a thought - did you think about using the slotted nuts on the front for a modified foot stop - make a functioning handle. Then instead of the kickstand - put the wheels where that is so the lip / front edge of the onewheel and the two cargo wheels then become the three points of contact with the ground. You'd roll it behind you, but flipped over. You'd also avoid something sticking several inches off the back that can get sheared off going over a curb. The built in handle looks like an area that could pick up lots of road contaminants and dust, etc. Kinda weird that's where they want people to put their fingers.
Another designer here. I wouldn't bother with the single price part that wraps around the lip. I'd simply make 2 separate (mirrored) peices that attach at the top of the board at the bolt mounting points. If you extend the model into the center of the board this will prevent the wheels from "leavering" upwards. (It's the same principle as having a board nailed down at the end and picking it up at the other, if you move the nails towards the center more it reduces the lever and adds more material behind the nails to counter you from picking it up.) These pieces could have a smaller kickstand built into them that extends upwards after the wheel mounting point.
I'm thinking the design would look like a J or an L from the side profile.
Make one. Then you and Morley can test them together.
Heres an idea for the an attachment for the other end of the board - A foldable cart thingy, so that you can place the stuff you want to buy conveniently onto the board you are rolling around anyway. :D
That's the direction I thought he was going to go in
„I love my one wheel, it’s my favorite way to move around! It only has one problem: it just has one wheel so I added two small ones“
Just for the irony, not to hate. I admire the creativity and the craftsmanship. Always good to see dedication and passion work together, GJ!
yeah be careful with cf filled filaments, the super tiny carbon fiber can get stuck in your skin and usually stays there, but after you are done printing it “should” be fine
Even after printing, you would require a coating over the part to not have exposed fibers on the print stick into your skin.
Morley Kert, creator of the Morley cart
This video was sick. So well done - the story was engrossing yet appropriately brisk - I never felt the urge to skip ahead once. Outstanding job on solving a problem through invention.
You should take a design from a spoiler off a car to shape the kick stand so it would stand up better plus it will look like a car spoiler
👏🏻
Skip to 20:13 for the final product
I really like that you didn't time lapse over all the nitty gritty decision making and troubleshooting. too many makers don't give enough insight into the actual development of a project or product.
How about an extendable handle and/or bag hook for the other end of the onewheel? Then you don't need a shopping cart either.
You need some washers around those bolts.
yeah I was thinking the same, would distrubute the stress a little better.
Not to put any pressure on you but your videos bring me so much joy and you're one of the only reasons that I'm still here, thank you Morley ^^
The funniest part about this is that instead of printing all this stuff, he could have just printed one of those coin keychains specifically for those carts.
The carts already give you back your quarter after you return them.
One wheel is very anti right to repair…
Its not bro they can be repaired
It doesn't matter what the companies' stance on repair is. If it's built simply it will be repaired. I would be very much surprised if is as difficult as a Segway/Ninebot to repair.
I really liked your video @MorleyKert. Don't let any of the comments get you down. It's "freedom of speech" and I don't think they were all trying to crap on you. Suggestions and safety tips mostly. I really liked it. I have been interested in one wheels since a couple of days ago when I watched an animal drive one so perfectly on a youtube video. I subscribed to your channel, man. You do everything with a smile. Your videos make me feel good. THX!
Buying expensive machinery (or being sponsored with it) does not make you a good engineer. This video perfectly proves that
but his creation was pretty successful for a prototype, could you point out where you thought he was being a bad engineer?
@@opiumdontmiss It was obvious where the part was going to break and since the mechanism has to deform to click it was also obvious which way not to print, not to mention the attempts with the magnets.
Some have to make more mistakes and more iterations to get to the final 'functional' prototype. He is probably a better 'engineer' than yesterday, that's already something.

@@johnbilodeau6296 good summary, thanks!
Here you can get a free plastic coin in shop, to unlock cart. Also there are printable solutions that you can insert, unlock and immediately remove from the cart. Add such to your keychain - problem solved!
The name is so perfect, when he asked "Do you have a name for it?" I immediately thought "Well it's a kickstand with wheels so... A Wheelstand?"
I know lots of people, but none of them is owner of a one wheeler😂😂😂😂
fucking loved this, design is really all about the process
Putting magnets going the other direction or even shorter magnets will keep it from rolling so easily and adding 2 clamps with wheels added to it would work great!
They go down flush when fastened down!
Also, sliding threaded locks is so obvious that we all forgot it lol
The kickstand could go down flat and fold out...
Also check out fang bumpers. They do exist. 1:43
You made this so fucking overcomplicated dude. Those two bottom holes were the solution. Two bolts, two low profile nuts. Epoxy two nuts into the plastic then drive the bolts into those two holes to keep it, maybe with plastic jackets to snug up the connection. Basically what you did with the top using the existing bottom profile.
He said he wants it to be easily removable, and for this, you would have to screw/unscrew it every time
@@mystiqg6248 his design from the video already requires you to screw and unscrew it it’s clearly not “easily removable” 18:54
@@christianreynolds781 sorry I didn't watch the whole video, but at the beginning he clearly states (2:02), he wants it to be removable, quote "No superglue, no drilling into the one wheel" which he then broke later in the video that I didn't see
He also didn't want to make any permanent modifications to the one wheel where as this is all removable and can be returned back to stock. Besides, he wouldn't have learnt anything had he epoxy'd in some nuts and would probably need to re-do it if he replaces that part.
Dont have a one wheel. Never will. Still stoked for you. Thanks for sharing the engineering process.
3:04 "shouldn't be too hard! Right!...right?" Famous last words
1:18 they didn't include those wheels because then they wouldn't be able to call it the "one wheel" now would they? 😂
Thanks for sharing the files. I've often wondered why this didn't exist. In my head I imagined basically Fangs bumper with extend-o or fold out wheels, but the kickstand is another great addition.
This video annoyed me. So much. Halfway through the video you talk about how integrating magnets is not the right path as the user experience is worsened due to modification of the board, because you want to make a product that can be mass integrated by one wheel users. But what you made doesn't work with 99% of boards that people own and I highly doubt the "many people" that you say experience this problem will go out of their way to purchase a $325 base kit just to have this added function instead of:
1. bringing quarters for the cart
or
2. just dealing with it and carrying the board.
I think the product itself is fine but introducing the video as a journey of prototyping a part that seamlessly integrates with the boards of average users, just to give up and not even buy, but RECIEVE FOR FREE a $325 base kit that can be used to attach LITERALLY ANYTHING to the board seems so woeful and so against the whole idea of this project.
21:22 AND have $325 to buy this kit...
alot of his videos are either a) annoying b) or dangerous, sometimes both. not worth watching imo
In those 2 holes, you could insert a threaded insert and screw in the plastic part.
Oh never mind, halfway through in the video they used the threaded insert.
Such a COOL insightful journey to product design from scratch! Loved it!
Congrats. You turned a ONE wheel into a skateboard.
i feel like i just watched a 22 minutes product pitch video and i enjoyed every minute of it
Simple solution... print yourself a cart key. Pick the coin they use as a template, add a bit of a handle so you can grip it or stick it on a lanyard and pop it in when you arrive, pop it out when you're done. Add a small holder for it on your wheel and it goes where the wheel goes.
On the other hand, its a pretty elegant solution and durability and mass production can be solved by making an injection mould for it.
Why doesn't he just use longer screws? @11:48
and for all of you out there looking to learn product design methodology, look for the course we have on our wb.
Good job man, good job.
Wow that carbon fibre filament is crazy strong.
Props to onewheel for sending you out the FST footpads and been a part of this video.
I solved your problem in less than 15 seconds. Keep quarters in your backpack.
those two holes you were tabbing into... assuming those are screw holes for the board why not get some longer screws and countersink them into a bracket to attach to the board instead of replacing the board's plates? install is then just take out the two old screws and screw in two longer new ones with the bracket? its not like your using those wheels to pop a wheelie onto. keep the same shape as the first one just make holes where the pegs are and have a angle for the countersinking.
started binging your channel randomly lol. you have insanely good editing
This is cool Morley. One additional idea: what if you could create a way to hook it onto the shopping cart? Either way, great job!
maybe make the kickstand swivel 180° so it could be used as a hook? (i don't even own a onewheel lol)
I keep thinking about this. What if it hooked on the front in the middle, so it's like a cool looking front wheel. Come on Morley, if anyone can figure this out man, it's you!
Brilliant. Prototype 4 is also how I get the fit right while reducing print times and material waste.
What if the kickstand was able to be folded down when not in use. Then it could rotate out and lock in place when you roll it up onto the wheels? Maybe using the clicker style locking mechanism in a pen. You could also swap out the bolts for thumb screws for an easy tool free removal and attachment 🤷
I'm definitely going to try that CF filament. I print wheels for my hang glider that ride on a hub, but the hubs will bust went too much force is applied. I was going to have them machined out of aluminum but this might be an alternative worth trying first haha. Thanks for a great video
5:30 Sir, you have to patent all these iterations.
My neighbour is in his 70s and has a heart problem which had him go to surgery and come back with only 28% of it functioning properly. Depending on the situation, he uses either an electric one-wheeler or two-wheeler to move around at ALL times, even inside malls and grocery shops to avoid straining his heart.

Very Cool! That "Click" sound when it fit's perfectly it a beautiful sound! Great job and continued success!
Design is so crazy. When I saw the fst, I thought we were thinking the sane thing. We were not. First video, I love the channel already. My thought was way not keep the fst idea, add wheels directly to the foot blocks. The kickstand could come off in a “X”.
Great idea! I appreciate you showing the prototype iterations!
I would not attach the wheel assembly directly to the platform using the screws. That makes it difficult to remove the wheels. I would make it a two-part assembly.
One low-profile part-1 would be permanently attached to the platform with screws. And then the wheel assembly would be attached to that part-1.
...
In fact, you could even design part-1 to be permanently fixed to the original platform rather than the platform that has top screws on it. And like many people suggested, you could simply replace the original screws that live under the original platform with longer screws to permanently attach the part-1 that I suggest here.
...
You could also make it a three-part assembly where the stand would be removable from the wheels assembly.
you should add an extendable handle along the body of the onewheel
I couldn't stop thinking about adding an attachment to the other end and add like two rods with wheels on the end on both sides that could be rotated to be parallel to the onewheel for driving around but when rotated out they would enable you to drive it like a hopping cart or something. Putting it to another level, adding some net between the rods or somewhere would absolutely enable you to use it as a shopping cart in case of forgetting the coin for the actual shopping cart.
I'm not gonna lie: the PPA-CF is unbelievably strong. Very expensive too, but the strength is mindblowing
Great work. I can see the rolling benefit for ease.... But you still only have the one hand to gather your groceries.
I love the convenience here, and I have never even ridden one of these things! however, something to note, you've also made the device easier to steal.
Thumbs up - not for the idea, but for the will to pull the whole idea through and work it out until it's a solid solution. Yeah, and for showing us.
Thank you for demonstrating ppa-cf in a practical way
I suggest you make it so that both ends of the One Wheel is covered. Make the ends a bit wider than the board. The end pieces should have holes in them that extend out over the edges of the board. Use these holes to put hollow tubes from one end to the other end. Which will allow the new end covers to be held together.with in the tubes out two more tubes in the first two tubes and attach the tubes together at one end. This will form the suitcase like telescoping handle.
