Robust Finger Skateboard V2

Heyho

I built a finger skateboard some time ago and I'm still super happy with it myself :) The first parts I printed back then are still alive and working like the first day.

But some people had problems with the pressfit during assembly. That's why I gave the toy a second chance and reworked it a bit.


The changes are:

1. rougher surface so the fingers have more grip.

2. clip in place instead of press fit of the axle into the wheels.

3. optimized inner workings of the axle bearing for less friction.

4. wheels with profile for more grip.

5. Guide the assembly of axle, bearing & wheel through the axle bearing.
6. Click on the wheel with
