Replacement wheel for carry-on luggage from Swiss Gear. This wheel is 75mm in diameter. This older luggage model only has 2 wheel and not swivel.
There are 3 models of wheels to choose from. If you completely lost the wheel to replace, use v1. V2 and v3 are re-using the bearings from the original wheel. V3 has a slanted surface to match the natural curve on the back side of the luggage. I ended up sticking to v2 and a straight wheel.
Use a Dremel to cut off the original shaft. We'll use a 6mm screw and nylon lock nut as the new shaft for the v2 and v3.
I suggest a minimum of 3 layers, 30% fill on PLA.
I am going for 6 layers everywhere, 50% fill on Materio3D black PLA.
