When my boiler broke my lovely neighbours kindly loaned me their oil filled radiator. I noticed it had a missing wheel so to thank them (and as fun project) I decided to make a new one! I first looked online to see if I could find something premade. I found a similar model on Printables but even once resized it just wasn't right so I decided to redesign my own. Features:To hold the metal swivel rod I made some push-fit type elements in the wheel body. Works fairly well by clipping-in the rod and preventing the wheel from slipping off.Custom threaded wheel shaft which does need to be glued to the wheel to prevent them coming looseFor those interested I learned to make the threads in OnShape using a YouTube video by (www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI-DG6EZMAw&t=11s). Wheel Diameter: 37.8 mmSwivel Rod diameter: 6.02 mm
