Printing instructions and tips

The wheel itself consists of two identical parts that have to be printed individually and then glued together with super glue. A layer height of 0.1 – 0.15mm is ideal. Support is not needed.
The platform with support needs about 5% filling and a support. Tree support is recommended here, because no disturbing support structures remain.
The wheel can be screwed directly to the stand with an M4 x 25mm screw.
