I'm sure many have said this, but I really really appreciate you showing yourself through the modeling process. It has given me way too many insight and pointers on functionalities of F360 that I wasn't aware of. The definition process of Parameters and then modeling of your part by parameters is something that would have taken me years to figure out.
@@MorleyKert I think it's super valuable. Too many creators show the issue they want to solve then 2 seconds later have a impressive and complex model and then a long time lapse of it printing which personally I find doesn't add much value. Watching you model and make tweaks as you go is why I subscribed! Keep up the good work :)
Love this project! I think the tires present a scenario where it really doesn't make sense to use imperial measurements. Instead of making them 1/8 of an inch thick, you could be making them a multiple of 0.4mm and then be thinking in number of perimeters instead. Can make a parameter in Fusion 360 that is the line_width, and then make the tire_thickness parameter be line_width * x where x is the number of perimeters you want to use. Your nozzle is metric, your filament is metric, and likely every dimension of your printer is metric-- makes sense to design your prints in metric too. I am American, but I took my foray into 3D printing as an opportunity to switch to metric and never look back. Feels good to be a part of the wider world! Oh man, the graphite as lube for the wheel is such a good idea. Definitely using that tip!
Thanks for watching! I frequently will enter a layer thickness parameter as a multiplier of layer height (in mm, since you can mix units in fusion), but for something that’s many times wider than one extrusion width, I don’t have any issues just designing in US units. Though I will be switching to metric one of these days! 😊
@@MorleyKert do it sooner rather than later. I’m 49 and have been “metricizing” myself since I moved abroad six years ago and I wish I’d done it sooner.
I have so many people on my Facebook 3D printing page having so much trouble printing TPU especially with a Bowden tube extruder the key is slow and steady and I rarely get failed prints sure it is stringy but that’s the nature of the beast. I’ve designed a few fishing lures with this stuff and gave them to my friends to “give it a try” with great success. All fish need are movement and sound and they will hit. 👍 I love the fit of your tires
I’m a welder instructor and been inspired by the way you incorporated 3D printing into your woodwork. I think it would be cool if you added a welding machine to your workshop. I just bought a 3D printer and plan to use it to make models for metal sculpture ideas so my students can have a visual aid for their metal work. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!
Love the project! A suitcase I loved (lifetime guarantee - hahaha) fell apart at the caster wheel. No near replacements to buy. I took the same approach as you and printed a nylon bearing insert, PLA (yes!) wheel rim, and tpu tyre - I put a crown on the rim to hold the tyre, came off a few times on the bag belt after a sideways blow, but I just put it back on and never had a problem while wheeling. The point of this kind of project is not that you 'should' print your own wheels, but that you 'can' - and the skills that you demonstrate in this show why!! Great content and testing (I got my first 3d printer 9 years ago and still use them pretty much daily). Combined with a laser cutter and a small CNC there is not much that I can't produce - and most of it you cant 'buy'. I have a shaper origin - if you can get one then do! (but a laser cutter first IMO) as you can cut materials like delrin that have some serious strength.
You're underestimating the strength of 3D printing. 30% infill PLA will match plywood for compression loads such as these. According to the tests from CNC Kitchen that is :) Cool project in any case though. I'm wondering when you're going to make them swivel as well ;)
Fun fact: casters are named for the archaic verb 'cast' meaning to twist or turn, so though we distinguish between rigid and swivel casters, the only true casters are the swivel kind. Rigid casters are really just wheels, but because they're applied the same way they are honorary casters.
Thank you for the TPU profile! I've struggled to get my TPU to print cleanly, and this profile was amazing. The rubber feet I was printing a replacement for look just like the factory ones.
Try overture high speed Tpu. You can print it at 90mm/s even on a Bowden printer (works with PLA settings on my Stock ender 3). It’s not anymore expensive than standard Tpu and it makes you way less time consuming to print.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing I don't have a CNC router yet. I make wheels with a hole-saw in my drill standard (can be done with a normal drill as well. I don't have a 3D printer either. So I should come up with something for around the wooden/plywood wheels. It should not be a problem to make swivelling wheels, I guess. (at least not with your skills)
Good idea in a pinch - and leaving aside the funky aspect of doing it oneself, I’d rather buy them given the time and effort, and spend my printing/making time on more esoteric and custom work. Still good job!
I've mostly use masking tape & CA glue for holding stock down on my CNC. No need for tabs, no chance of running into clamps, and the stock never moves. The other benefit is that by choosing a DoC of just over the material thickness, you can avoid spoiling the spoil board most times. I also think I'd want to have a couple of the castors lockable - maybe your next #DP project!
Its so nice to see how this channel has grown. Ive been here since potty stool. I told you that this will mark a great increase in subs. Im so glad for you :)! keep beeing amazing.
And here I thought you were going to work out spinning casters and a locking mechanism. Not that I have tackled that problem, I always got throw aways from work. 👍✌🖖🥃
Wouldn't it be nice if you had added 2 wheels which can swivel and have a brake system. Just like those carts they move Soundsystem with. You can buy those wheels separate
Thank you so much! I know about the shaper origin but I’ve never really thought about getting one - you’re right, I could do a lot with one! Thanks for watching 😊
Some things just aren't meant to be made lol, it was really fun to watch and it is a really great project to test your skills. you can get a solid caster for like $10 shipped :D
So you got the 12.9 planer. Can you tell us how you like it and thought. I am looking for one and looking for the best bang for the buck and want to know what you like about it.
patreon? doesn’t anyone have a job anymore i mean, we don’t force you to make these videos hey, what if i want a new ferrari, should i ask you to make a generous donation? if corde not, that’s my problem.

I agree. It’s teaching me a lot and really making me feel comfortable enough to try diving in after giving up once.
i agree thanks morley
I enjoy the process here, but an inexpensive furniture dolly from Harbor freight ($10-15) would do the job. I use one for a pancake compressor.
Love this project!

Thank you so much! I’m definitely gonna look into getting a shaper origin.
You should try the masking tape + superglue method if your clamping setup is dubious. Very strong against shearing forces.

Tpu* not you. Autocorrect…
I had no idea you could use graphite as a lubricant like that. Brilliant!
That worked much better than I thought! Good solution for your small garage shop.
Thanks, Dave!
I want to see you make some swivel casters next!!
Adding a handle in a convenient spot would allow you to lift one side up slightly so you can turn it when you need to take it around a corner 👍
That’s a good idea! Or a skateboard tail!
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing I don't have a CNC router yet. I make wheels with a hole-saw in my drill standard (can be done with a normal drill as well.

(at least not with your skills)
Nice video. Love how you started with Fusion 360 then to CNC. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thanks for watching!
You have a bumpy ground so without large wheels with thick rubber or pnumatic tires you will have a bumpy roll, even with bearings.
Good idea in a pinch - and leaving aside the funky aspect of doing it oneself, I’d rather buy them given the time and effort, and spend my printing/making time on more esoteric and custom work.
Still good job!
To each their own! Thanks for watching 😊
Mom's are the best. great content bro 👌
They are! Thanks for watching 😊
And it only took 15 mins! Very impressive!
Haha exactly! Thanks for watching

I like masking tape and CA glue, but it seemed a bit wasteful for a cut this big. But probably would’ve worked better, haha! What is #DP?
@@MorleyKert Typo - 3DP.

Guess steering is now done by shift weight. Not that smooth thus
Fun challenge Morley, and interesting exercise in modelling... but I think I'll keep buying casters 😅
Have you ever checked out the shaper origin? It would work nice for stuff like cutting those mortises. Ps - I really enjoy your content bro!
Thank you so much! I know about the shaper origin but I’ve never really thought about getting one - you’re right, I could do a lot with one! Thanks for watching 😊
Gotta get you a stationary belt sander for Yule or something.
Thanks for posting another great video, Morley!
You could have used the masking tape and super glue trick to hold down that scrap without needing the clamps.
Some things just aren't meant to be made lol, it was really fun to watch and it is a really great project to test your skills.
you can get a solid caster for like $10 shipped :D
does adding casters affect the quality of the cut?
There are open source plans out there for a build your own cnc with 3d printing
So you got the 12.9 planer. Can you tell us how you like it and thought. I am looking for one and looking for the best bang for the buck and want to know what you like about it.
I haven’t used it enough to form an informed opinion, but I plan to be using it on some upcoming projects!
I had th same idea when I saw the wheel diameter, why not add skateboard or skate bearings.
Moreley Kert is the Adam Ragusea of 3D printing. But dude, seriously, ever hear of Harbor Freight? LOL
I have nothing constructive to say other than that I enjoyed the video, but allegedly the algorithm likes comments so....here's one.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Did you just literally re-invent the wheel?
Kind of funny to use a CNC to cut a circle when you could use a drill press and be done even faster.
Not when you don’t have a drill press 😉
@@MorleyKert Respect for priorities :) I wish I had room for both
Me too!
How can you use imperials to construct anything, oof.
