Custom Made 3d printed idler wheels

[farmerz24]

hello all.

I am now making custom idler wheels for my sled project (project minimalist build ) thread and wanted to know if anyone else wanted any.
they can be any design, any pattern, any size. big wheels, small idlers, etc.

Whoever wants to test one will get a free idler. will custom make for you.
see attached..
can also make other accessories or parts.
let me know. willing to work with you.

How strong are they? How are you holding the bearing into the idler? Most of the ones I've broke have been the snap ring groove pulling out.

They will be made from PETG plastic.
Bearings would be press fit from one side then have a nice deep groove for the circlip to be held in tight.

What wheel / idler size are you after?
What machine/suspension. ill draw one and you can test it.

Price for 9” ? Colors?

just printing the first one shortly. I hope they hold up. Right now this is experimentation phase. Price would be similar to normal idlers perhaps? Benefit being you each have your own custom design or what not.

More updates coming...

what colors are you after. Right now, black and semi-transparent/clear.

Let me know.

Attached is a test print in black of the first scaled one. Seems very strong...

Also attached is a custom poly busing if anyone is interested in these also. 90A shore.

Could you make ski rubbers?

Like these?

Would need to be self lubricating polyurethane.

i could make that, but would need the right material. what hardness is that (shore).

No idea what hardness.

Same as a polyurethane 4x4 truck suspension bushing I guess.

a bunch of guys PM'd me and i PM'd them back on this but no replies....

attached is the first real functional full size test image. its meant to fit the polaris extra12 idler.

I call it unlucky13 due to the 13 holes in it. stress testing will follow including how much force is required to push the bearing out past the snap ring as well as applying press forces to the part in various axis, while comparing to stock.
currently being printed in transparent clear.
can get other transparent colors too.

Anyone have this size and want to give it a go?
