After receiving some free end-cuts of plywood, which I laminated to make pallets for piles of “stuff”, I designed some plastic “corners” to stop from cutting my ankles.
I then decided I should fix the problem where some packing tables I have on casters move against base boards and I did not want them to scrape the baseboards.
So I got some small wheels from Princess Auto and designed a corner mount to mount the wheel underneath the bottom of the rolling table where it would hit the baseboard.
It worked but was so large I would have to move the wheel back from the corner and use 4 or 5 screws to mount it. Considering the small wheels cost $2.50 I decided this approach was sub-optimal (stupid).
I then designed a smaller bracket and wheel I could 3-d print. The axel will consist of a deck screw going down through a ¼” OD metal tube. Kills two birds (unfortunately not squirrels) with one stone.
Three screw to mount this new one and takes less plastic.
My next experiment will be to mold silicon rubber tires around the wheels.
