After a long journey through Chief Delphi, Thingiverse, and all sorts of weird vendors, trying to find an easy to print, highly functional Vectored Intake Wheels for FRC robots…
I have given up and decided to design my own
.
.
.
A bit over 2"ø, optimized for function and low weight,
The model is easy to print (no supports) built from 2 identical parts for the body and 8 rollers
(if you want the different direction vector just mirror the two halves in the slicer)
.
The two halves are connected with M4 bolts and nut
.
A problem I found with many 3dp models of Vectored Intake Wheels is that the tolerances are usually optimized for the designer’s printer, with this design I made sure they come out perfect no matter what printer you are using.
.
step files included for easy remixing
