For the past 8 years, I have not found any of this size. This is why Mark and I saw an opportunity and went with it.
Notice that we provide the complete
CAD files (.stp format) for these
8" trick wheels on our site. The side plates could be cut on a CNC mill, a waterjet cutter, or a laser cutter (or with more difficulty on a mill with an indexing head). You can take these files, make prints from them, and build-your-own wheels without permission from us. This design is not proprietary. The rollers can be made easily from polycarbonate, nylon, delrin, or cut with more difficulty from a softer rubber. Be sure to smooth the sharp edges of the plastic to not damage the carpet on the playing field.
Good luck,
Andy B.
