This is a strut I put together on tinkercad (public, link at the bottom) to fix my broken lawnmower's wheel. The original plastic wheel broke at the axle, so I put together something to be able to quickly use the device. A new wheel would cost around €15, and a couple of weeks of wait time.
The machine is a Stihl RME235 / Viking ME235 electric corded lawnmower, and I didn't want to print out a whole wheel, since the original one had a nice rubber around the edge, as well as for visual balance reasons.
The wheel had a metal 8mm axle and the replacement strut should be able to fit any similar wheel with a diameter of over 130mm.
The original wheel was fixed to the printed strut using cable ties. The assembly has been in use for over six months with no issues whatsoever.
