I think you made a very wise decision at the end. A lot of people see the potential dollar signs and their eyes just glaze over without thinking about the potential short comings. Very forward of you to take a deeper look before diving headfirst.
OR. and hear me out. He's like me, saw the mountain of paperwork and effort to go into this. said "screw it. give it away." and that's what he chose. To be lazy. Just saying, at least 2 sides to every sheet of paper.
Yeah, even offering customer service and dealing with returns is a never ending cost that doesn't translate to success. The difficulties of starting a business is why I think at we really need to support small businesses.
The target audience of this product is incredibly niche. I’m glad you made the smart choice in not fully creating a business around an add-on to a product not many people own.
the fact that he though this was an amazing idea worth selling is worrying... its a hobby project free, or he makes some and sells online to the few that might use it.

For years now ive been using one of those spam can key openers as my trolley key. You know they little metal tab thing you break off the side, to turn and twist off the top of the can? They fit perfectly into the larger coin slot, the other end even has a little hole in it that you can use to attach it to your key chain.
I was upset at first reading the title, but then as I watched it I understood why you did it, and it made a lot of sense. I love the way you think, keep it up!
The caster actually needs to have its own caster angle from the base so that it is tipped and returns to the centre. It would allow the wheel to still turn but it would need to slightly tip the whole assembly as the caster angle gets shallower but would be more stable than even the longer wheelbase. You can also shorten the "fin"
This! Absolutley this! I just soft launched a 3d printed a camera cooling product and the amount of people along the way who were saying to Patent, mass produce etc. As a solo designer making niche products in a market where things are copied, remixed, watered down and sold on aliexpress, temu or wherever, I think I rather focus on the fun of making things that improve the quality of life of the things I own and use rather than trying to make a patent war on every little thing that seems game changing.
thats dope, i agree on the just make it and then if you see a huge demand.....make more and invest in it. but front loading the costs and legal costs for a product to me is the wrong move. unless its revolutionary. i got an idea.....could i run it by you?
Pro tip: if you want to thread screws into your 3D prints, google what is the required drill hole size for actual tapping of a specific thread, that will give you the right hole size to model.
As someone that brings products to market (Specifically injection molded accessory for products). You just saved yourself from a lot of headaches. The reason these bigger creators are able to make it seem easier is because they have a team that can help them, which costs a lot of money. It's all about economies of scale for that. If you have 10 million+ subscribers and can afford to shell out $10,000 - $50,000 a month and the market is big enough for the product then I would say go for it, but there's more factors to consider when the market size isn't huge and you don't have the capital to hire people that are good at the things you are not. Keep creating! 🥂
“My focus, at least right now, needs to be on making fantastic TH-cam videos” If only I had a dollar for every time I responded to an email with basically that exact phrase.
From watching your videos (and I might be wrong) you appear to have missed out an important step. Market research. You have solved a problem that *you* have. Before you launch a product you need to know if other people want or need it. I think you've made the right move. Grow your channel, it's coming on really well. Then think about products.
In no world is this a "million dollar idea" but I respect the effort and for releasing your process. There are so many issues with this design to be an actual product that I have a hard time believing you really considered it but it makes for a good thumbnail. Also, there's a tool called a drill that's helpful for ensuring holes are the right size.
It's amazing how much great free open-source stuff you can find in the 3D printing community! It's really one of a few humanity frontiers with that spirit of improving on each other and getting value without thinking of the monetization. Glad you joined it, hope you'll get your returns anyways somehow.
@@nathanhollow0 that has no legal basis,the real reason the file is free is simple:The man is not a cheapskate and he knows respect from his youtube fans is more valuable than a few thousand dollars
I love the that you recognized that having a product would make and up so much of your time and take away from your time as a creative, keep making cool stuff :)
This is what the 3D printing community is all about. People coming up with creative solutions to problems that manufacturers won't address, and sharing their solution with the world. That's part of what makes me so glad to be part of this hobby. Sometimes these are niche problems that it simply wouldn't be profitable for manufacturers to address, without 3D printing these problems would often be unsolvable. It's a great thing that we are able to solve these problems without relying on mass production these days.
And released under a creative commons license. Good man! Personally, knowledge and experience are their own rewards with a lot of things. The joy in creating something that you use that actually works and makes your life better and if you get daily use out of it, its a source of pride. In my view mission accomplished and releasing it out there for others to use is admirable. With any luck it'll come back to you because it's the maker community really that you're investing in. I know in my case I've released designs that I've spent many hours working on and they've helped others and I've downloaded and used designs from others that have helped me. Kudos!
Great video and great idea man! I also believe you are at the right path, you'll hit some clever product idea soon! Btw, I recognize that Safeway at Commercial Broadway station. Cheers from West end ;)
Wild ride of a video!!! I know nothing about deisgn or 3D printing I just like seeing the idea going pop and the filament going boop. But as a commercial lawyer, I was squinting my eyes the whole time on this one 😂 I completely support the decision you came to in the end - this kind of stuff can unravel into such a mess.
I like the maker space idea. I think a lot of stores have a place where you can keep items you don't want to carry into the store. Personally I wouldn't drag around a one wheel in one hand and also move a trolley or carry a shopping basket in the other hand. The idea makes sense in all other scenarios like if you're passing through areas where you're not allowed to operate it or maybe when the battery dies off. Otherwise you have great problem solving skills 👍.
You could 3d print a shopping cart or bag that can shift to different parts so you can carry it.(you don’t have to 3d print you can try making it) or remember to bring a quarter 😂
Free suggestion: Inside the body of the main printed component add a hole and indent to allow the correct Hex key to be stored with a friction fit. This allows the user to have the correct tool on hand to remove and reattach the stand when travelling. In other words, Integrated storage location for required tool. Description of the storage: A 10mm hole (or whatever the head is on the bumper screws) oriented exactly like the decorative strength holes, full length through entire frame. On either end of the hole have a channel for the right angle of the Hex tool (allen key) to press fit into. Along the channel include a oval depression to allow thumb and forefinger to grab and remove the press fit Hex tool.
Upgrade it with two brushless motors, encoder , battery and a cam . you have the first onewheel with the follow me add , like a smart trolley. You have a lot of space inside your 3d model
you very clearly made the correct decision. money sucks, going down that route would have taken something out of you and you provid emore value this way.
I think the best decision would be to have these made out of aluminum. It would cost money to set up, but they could be anodized in colors, stronger, more durable, and would survive drops or crashes. It would also look much more luxurious.
12:25 FYII you can put threads on models at least in Fusion 360, and all my uses of threads have always worked wonderfully. You'd just need to figure out which threads you'd need to use, then yu wouldn't need to blast it with a torch, which some people might not have. Without the print having tthreads, twisting the bolt into the print would alson work better then pushing, as pushing.... pushes some of the material out of the way.
W Morley upload ! Love how you picked back up on this project, it’s so awesome to see you go through the ups and downs of these dilemmas and find your standing ground at the end. W thought process. W vid man!
If you want to improve the design, you could add a tool-holder to the largest open hole, such that you always have the tools with you to install or remove the wheelstand.

I absolutely love everything you do but I couldn't stop thinking that just remembering the quarter or 3D printing a quarter size keychain would have been an easier option. But watching the process and seeing this come to life was beautiful! Keep up the great work!
Not to be a party pooper, but eh, I would rotate the driving direction 90°, like the suitcases your idea started with. Some benefits: 1. Your hand is in a more comfortable angle. 2. The applyed thrust forward does not want to tip the board, even if you would start to run or step back in an instant ('Oh, I forgot something back there') 3. You would not have to extend your arm forward like now but keep it at a convenient location beside your body. 4. The steering would be a lot easier, intuitive. Just a suggestion. Sorry for the typos, not a native English speaker/writer.
I’m not going to lie, I accidentally tapped onto this video on accident and was going to get rewatch the video I was previously watching. But some how I got stuck to watching this video. Keep up the good work.
I read that there have been about 300,000 of the OneWheel things made so far by Future Motion. They've all been recalled for safety reasons. From what I have read, 4 people have ceased to exist from riding these things due to being ejected without head protection.
Without even viewing this video I want to say that ideas are a dime a dozen. It takes dedication, hard work, money and time to make them into a million dollar product.
Let's be honest, the massive problem with the one wheel is its a death trap. You can easily wedge the nose of that thing and catapult off the front. Yes, hopefully your wheel addresses that problem.
Honestly, you seem really stoked about your YT channel and it seems to be making money for you as well. You strike me as the kind of person who gets excited by new ideas and loves finding new projects, so getting stuck into one area or product might not be your jam. The other thing is that you are a fantastic story teller. I have very little interest in the niche one wheel market and I’m not even that connected to 3D printing or making stuff. But I have been watching your videos from beginning to end because your process is so interesting, your online presence is fun and you make well edited videos. If you can continue to make a living, why not follow your heart for a while. And I’ll keep watching your content.
i mean... it's a cool idea. but honestly, i would never use it. even if im just riding to the store for a couple groceries, i'll be riding aggressively, and jumping off curbs and stairs... i couldn't see myself putting this on before going out. plus, it just looks super goofy... lol. i just throw my wheel in the cart that i would already be using anyway, or just go to the customer service desk and tell them "hey im going to leave this behind the counter so i don't have to carry it, i'll bew back in 5 minutes" "ok no problem! :)" i have never really seen this as an issue, personally. it is a very creative idea though, and it made for some good videos!
Don't know if you get there yet, but having the single wheel be the one making contact well dragging behind and the 2 additional wheels for support leaning back. A single wheel caster or not allows you to turn easily (like the one wheel its self)
Props for giving away the idea. In a better world this is how all inventions would be released. If you want to balance it without massive trial and error, you need to find the centre of mass (CoM). The simplest way to to this is to balance it, which you can probably do to find its front-to-back position. Side-to-side doesn't matter for the balance you want, but it's the top-to-bottom position that needs work. The way to do this is to hang it from one end with a thin rope, then hang a plumb line (just a string with a weight on one end) beside it. Line up a camera so both strings/ropes are lined up, and the plumb line in the image will pass directly in front of the CoM. Also you could just stand it up on its end and feel when it's balanced, then take a photo from the side with a plumb line in the shot. Or you could just guess the CoM is in the middle of the wheel, which seems reasonable actually since the bulk of the board is centred around that wheel. If you know where the front-to-back CoM is, you can intersect those lines for the actual CoM, then import that position into your 3D modelling program and just line up the design so it'll work first time.
The patent attorney is correct, what you need to know is that yes two years is the average but it could take up to 5 years depending on the backlog in the specific art group... also understand that there is no guarantee, you can spend 7-8K and the patent office can reject your application. You can file response to office action after office action, request continued prosecution and still they can reject your application based on prior art (102 and 103 rejections). If your application goes to allowance and issuance you are now at the very beginning. You now have an economic monopoly on that piece of technology that will allow you to prevent others from making, using or selling the patented invention. Actually preventing folks from using the invention is going to cost you more... a lot more $$$. Patent litigation is the sport of kings.
1:18 "After three minutes you just feel like an absolute clown." Its well known that an adult walking around in a skater boi helmet wearing a child-sized backpack and carrying an electric unicycle looks cool for three minutes, but that FOURTH minute... hoo boy.
Put a coin shaped keyring on your keys, all trolleys are now unlocked. You can even unlock trolleys for others, without leaving the keyring in the trolley, because people dont always have a coin.
Using a one-wheels is just stupid and dangerous. It reminds me of the chairs from WALL-E, where people became overweight because they were always using those chairs and never moved their legs.
Love your videos man. My skills extend as far as Tinkercad...for now. Even a small mastery of Tinkercad has come in immensely useful over the last year or so, and I plan on learning a 'big boy' CAD program. Keep doing what you're doing, I always look forward to an upload.
freecad 1.0 just launched a short time ago. might wanna give it a shot. there are some great advantages of foss compared to fusion 360, even though freecad is a bit harder to learn.
honestly, i find you slightly annoying, but very intelligent. the willingness to share, and seemingly make the world better, i cant knock. keep it up, and good luck!
Your videos are incredible man, happy I found your channel recently. Keep creating, keep striving, and keep doing what makes you happy. Doing what you love everyday and getting paid to do it is the real dream and you’re living it man!
I dont even own a OneWheel but your videos bring me joy. Your positive energy and lovely narration is going to take you far ahead in this journey of yours! Good luck brother ❤
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and never realized that I wasn't subscribed. That changes now. Love your vibe, my guy. Can't wait to see you reach 20 million subscribers. You definitely deserve it!
Man, if only half the world was as considerate and wise as you I'm sure we'd be living in a much better place. I love how you choose to not let 'corporate greed' (for lack of a better name) get to you and just keep it real. I'm sure in the long run you (and eventually we all) will benefit from making decisions like these.
This problem was already solved 10 years ago with the electric unicycle, a better form factor (bigger wheel, stronger torque, built-in trolley handle) th-cam.com/video/SoOZAOGB7LU/w-d-xo.html I tested both OneWheel and EUC and I do use the EUC every day because it's more practical.
I just got into 3D printing and your channel has been both entertaining and inspirational, really glad you decided to stick with TH-cam instead of trying to sell a niche product 👍
I think you can do it all and come on top. Open source it + no patents, and use 3D printing farm to sell it to those who don't have the time, expertise, or 3D printer. If OneWheel, or another company copies your product and decide to not give you a share, then you still don't lose, because you set your mind on the beginning to focus on giving back to the community, whether the product comes from you, or at a cheaper cost without you benefiting, still the community wins, but in this age where a relationship with the community is important, a company can lose more if they don't bring you in, as it'd be bad optics for them. So once again, you can do it all and everyone wins. Best of luck, this is a dope product.
In a world where millions of people ride weird californian kids skateboards from an alternate reality and have the same particular need as you to browse supermarket aisles, yeah sure, it's a million dollar idea.
Idk which is worse, your engineering or slant 3d content. Your vids and productions are great. Slant 3d service is great. Thank god you are packing this up already
screw tires or multidirectional tires seem like it could have been a good upgrade for the wheels instead of dealing with the caster pivoting. There are also 3d printed designs for such tires using standard bearings and materials.

3. You would not have to extend your arm forward like now but keep it at a convenient location beside your body.
4. The steering would be a lot easier, intuitive.
Just a suggestion.

A better solution to your problem is to create a hidden bucket in to store your penny so you can just put it inside the cart
In fact only supermarkets have carts. When you go to a non-food shop, they probably don't have carts. There it would be handy to have the stand.
I’m not going to lie, I accidentally tapped onto this video on accident and was going to get rewatch the video I was previously watching. But some how I got stuck to watching this video. Keep up the good work.
man on the part of concentrating on making good youtube vids you are already on the right track! your vids are awesome! keep the good work!
I read that there have been about 300,000 of the OneWheel things made so far by Future Motion. They've all been recalled for safety reasons. From what I have read, 4 people have ceased to exist from riding these things due to being ejected without head protection.
Without even viewing this video I want to say that ideas are a dime a dozen. It takes dedication, hard work, money and time to make them into a million dollar product.
Let's be honest, the massive problem with the one wheel is its a death trap. You can easily wedge the nose of that thing and catapult off the front. Yes, hopefully your wheel addresses that problem.
Solution: Just 3D print a fake coin you can attact and detach from a keyring
It's literally not that hard????
Excellent decision, as someone who was in the business of making similar products, I would say: you did yourself a favour.
You have become a master at story telling & editing… so damn entertaining and I don’t even have a one wheel or would ever ride one 😂
That's the best to hear! Thank you :)
Nice work, and enjoyed the process.
You could use an omnidirectional wheel instead of the caster wheel
Honestly, you seem really stoked about your YT channel and it seems to be making money for you as well. You strike me as the kind of person who gets excited by new ideas and loves finding new projects, so getting stuck into one area or product might not be your jam. The other thing is that you are a fantastic story teller. I have very little interest in the niche one wheel market and I’m not even that connected to 3D printing or making stuff. But I have been watching your videos from beginning to end because your process is so interesting, your online presence is fun and you make well edited videos. If you can continue to make a living, why not follow your heart for a while. And I’ll keep watching your content.
i mean... it's a cool idea.
but honestly, i would never use it. even if im just riding to the store for a couple groceries, i'll be riding aggressively, and jumping off curbs and stairs... i couldn't see myself putting this on before going out. plus, it just looks super goofy... lol. i just throw my wheel in the cart that i would already be using anyway, or just go to the customer service desk and tell them "hey im going to leave this behind the counter so i don't have to carry it, i'll bew back in 5 minutes" "ok no problem! :)"
i have never really seen this as an issue, personally. it is a very creative idea though, and it made for some good videos!
Don't know if you get there yet, but having the single wheel be the one making contact well dragging behind and the 2 additional wheels for support leaning back.
A single wheel caster or not allows you to turn easily (like the one wheel its self)
Props for giving away the idea. In a better world this is how all inventions would be released.
If you want to balance it without massive trial and error, you need to find the centre of mass (CoM). The simplest way to to this is to balance it, which you can probably do to find its front-to-back position. Side-to-side doesn't matter for the balance you want, but it's the top-to-bottom position that needs work.
The way to do this is to hang it from one end with a thin rope, then hang a plumb line (just a string with a weight on one end) beside it. Line up a camera so both strings/ropes are lined up, and the plumb line in the image will pass directly in front of the CoM.
Also you could just stand it up on its end and feel when it's balanced, then take a photo from the side with a plumb line in the shot. Or you could just guess the CoM is in the middle of the wheel, which seems reasonable actually since the bulk of the board is centred around that wheel.
If you know where the front-to-back CoM is, you can intersect those lines for the actual CoM, then import that position into your 3D modelling program and just line up the design so it'll work first time.
In this video? I thought it would be in another video, thanks for letting me know.
6:56 cmooooooon use version numbers, the first video was about prototype version 1, so 1.13, now is 2 so 2.0
The patent attorney is correct, what you need to know is that yes two years is the average but it could take up to 5 years depending on the backlog in the specific art group... also understand that there is no guarantee, you can spend 7-8K and the patent office can reject your application. You can file response to office action after office action, request continued prosecution and still they can reject your application based on prior art (102 and 103 rejections). If your application goes to allowance and issuance you are now at the very beginning. You now have an economic monopoly on that piece of technology that will allow you to prevent others from making, using or selling the patented invention. Actually preventing folks from using the invention is going to cost you more... a lot more $$$. Patent litigation is the sport of kings.
1:18 "After three minutes you just feel like an absolute clown." Its well known that an adult walking around in a skater boi helmet wearing a child-sized backpack and carrying an electric unicycle looks cool for three minutes, but that FOURTH minute... hoo boy.
I think adding a little hole in the space between the one wheeler and the wheel stand for the og screws will make it easier to switch.
Build a Stainless Steal plate for the Wheels that way it won't break.
I agree! Sometimes you get stuck in a 3d printed solution. A milled aluminum solution might be a better solution than plastic.
@@jgoo4572 Aluminum gets Corrosion after a while , But Stainless steal doesn't rust or get corrosion 👍
@@newfie66xbox76 I was thinking light weight with a coating treatment, perhaps anodized. I don’t think corrosion would be a concern.
Put a coin shaped keyring on your keys, all trolleys are now unlocked. You can even unlock trolleys for others, without leaving the keyring in the trolley, because people dont always have a coin.
Using a one-wheels is just stupid and dangerous.
It reminds me of the chairs from WALL-E, where people became overweight because they were always using those chairs and never moved their legs.
build an extension handle like a suitcase now on the other end so you don't have to reach down so far and you're gold.
When is the shark tank episode? 👀
Ya no kidding 😅
Hey love the video. I think you could just use an omniwheel for the third stabilizing wheel so you can turn
0:35 why does english backwards sound like german?????
Because thats german
@@goncalo.ferreiralol
Idk
English and German were ones one language
But German backwards sounds even MORE German.😮
1:32 dude, someone made a great invention called the basket
If anything the weight distribution would be worse
Love your videos man. My skills extend as far as Tinkercad...for now. Even a small mastery of Tinkercad has come in immensely useful over the last year or so, and I plan on learning a 'big boy' CAD program. Keep doing what you're doing, I always look forward to an upload.
freecad 1.0 just launched a short time ago. might wanna give it a shot. there are some great advantages of foss compared to fusion 360, even though freecad is a bit harder to learn.
honestly, i find you slightly annoying, but very intelligent. the willingness to share, and seemingly make the world better, i cant knock. keep it up, and good luck!

That patent lawyer was like, "check your mouth it's got orange juice in it"
Your videos are incredible man, happy I found your channel recently. Keep creating, keep striving, and keep doing what makes you happy. Doing what you love everyday and getting paid to do it is the real dream and you’re living it man!
Does your lawyer have a channel? He seems like he knows his stuff! 🧠👍🏻
Just file for the patent yourself. It's like $300 or $600. Do NOT get a lawyer, much less on retainer.
the thumbnail made me think your million dollar idea was putting wheels on a big block of orange cheese
I dont even own a OneWheel but your videos bring me joy. Your positive energy and lovely narration is going to take you far ahead in this journey of yours! Good luck brother ❤
This is the reason I haven't bought a onewheel yet, I didn't want to carry it around
Doing CAD with a trackpad is insane
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and never realized that I wasn't subscribed. That changes now. Love your vibe, my guy. Can't wait to see you reach 20 million subscribers. You definitely deserve it!
Man, if only half the world was as considerate and wise as you I'm sure we'd be living in a much better place. I love how you choose to not let 'corporate greed' (for lack of a better name) get to you and just keep it real. I'm sure in the long run you (and eventually we all) will benefit from making decisions like these.
This problem was already solved 10 years ago with the electric unicycle, a better form factor (bigger wheel, stronger torque, built-in trolley handle) th-cam.com/video/SoOZAOGB7LU/w-d-xo.html I tested both OneWheel and EUC and I do use the EUC every day because it's more practical.
Make the casket into a ball it might be more reliable and sturdy
I just got into 3D printing and your channel has been both entertaining and inspirational, really glad you decided to stick with TH-cam instead of trying to sell a niche product 👍
I think you can do it all and come on top. Open source it + no patents, and use 3D printing farm to sell it to those who don't have the time, expertise, or 3D printer. If OneWheel, or another company copies your product and decide to not give you a share, then you still don't lose, because you set your mind on the beginning to focus on giving back to the community, whether the product comes from you, or at a cheaper cost without you benefiting, still the community wins, but in this age where a relationship with the community is important, a company can lose more if they don't bring you in, as it'd be bad optics for them. So once again, you can do it all and everyone wins. Best of luck, this is a dope product.
It makes me so happy seeing him having fun with inventing. LETS ALL AGREE, W CONTENT CREATOR 🎉🎉
In a world where millions of people ride weird californian kids skateboards from an alternate reality and have the same particular need as you to browse supermarket aisles, yeah sure, it's a million dollar idea.
1:06 here's another million dollar idea: a plastic coin strapped to the Onewheel.
MAD respect to you Morley for your take on staring a buisness. Keep following the dream, the rest will eventually fall into place
Idk which is worse, your engineering or slant 3d content.
Your vids and productions are great. Slant 3d service is great.
Thank god you are packing this up already
Just shared with 18K teachers because this is a great video demonstrating the design process. Hopefully a lot of them head over here.
ive seen a green thumbnail gold now orange?
welp i clicked on orange
screw tires or multidirectional tires seem like it could have been a good upgrade for the wheels instead of dealing with the caster pivoting. There are also 3d printed designs for such tires using standard bearings and materials.
One of my favorite ongoing themes of your videos is that they pretty much all have a "please don't sue me" moment 😂
