Caster wheels with Gear Bearings

Some brilliant designs for gear bearings where posted on the Thingiverse. Rather than spheres which are hard to perfect in 3D printing the units use double helical gears (herringbone) so they won’t come apart. The come off the machine in one pieces and are ready to spin! We developed a mounting flange and wheel yoke to test them out. The bearings were from the OpenSCAD model and the flange and yoke were designed in SolidWorks.
