Questions: Which media did you use -- PLA, ABS or other? Did you utilize 100% infill? Layer height?

Interesting thought is one could engineer (and print) upper/lower wheels with different durometers as well and even do engineered infill designs for specialized wheeling applications.

Same could be done for bead roller dies perhaps?

Or an engineered type of "rubber band" to slip over the regular upper wheel?

Easy to make unique shapes, profiles, etc and the cost to do is minimal. Longevity would be an issue but most 3D printing given time involved usually can be unattended.

Thoughts from the 3D printing experts out there?
