The roller axis should be 45 degrees from the plane of the wheel.

If you want a "bump-free" mecanum wheel, the contour of the rollers is important. Design help for the roller profile can be found here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2390

Also the rollers should be long enough so that there is a slight overlap as one roller transitions to the next as the wheel is turning.
