I am attending the first year of Mechanical Engineering at University of Padua, and when I first saw this Design Contest from MAMSS sponsored by Lulzbot, I immediately thought Omniwheels would have been a very good example of what you can do with mechanics.
This project allows you to make your own omniwheel for being used in your creations (you can create more than one in order to reduce backslash, locking two wheels together using a spacer).
To install the 8 rolls you have got to cut 8 alluminium (or brass) sticks (3mm of diameter and 20mm of lenght) and place them beetween the two main parts of the omniwheel.
I hope you enjoyed my design and I am looking forward to see these omniwheels applied in some of your projects ;)
As you can see there are two .stl files with similar names: "Half Omniwheel Alligned" and "Half Omniwheel Middle". These have the internal 8 holes differently alligned in order to stuck two or more Omniwheels together; so if you what only one complete Omniwheel you must print two "Half Omniwheel Alligned" OR two "Half Omniwheel Middle".
The whole parts can be printed without supports and to print an entire omniwheel it would take no more than two prints.
