Default 3D printed window rollers

One of the fine gents has decided to take these to a quality production level and has had them printed at Shapeways. Cudos to him as every Disco owner will eventually need to replace the plastic rollers that break. Instead of DIY'er out of washers and the sorts, these 3D printed rollers are great. Note it Admin, you might want to sticky this one. Thanks again Lowest Bidder.

I ordered 2 sets.If they work good I am going to copy them and sell on Shapeways .03 cents cheaper just to steal the biz!


JK, But I did order some... They look to be a great alternative.

Thanks again!

Is there a video or tutorial anywhere showing how they are assembled/glued/installed?

Any long term testing on these??

I did figure that out.,..when I saw this thread. Thanks. Something about the Shapeways site just seemed odd,.... and the product description seemed lacking in info,....didn't want to be sending credit card info to a phishing or scammer site,....so, was just trying to establish contact first.
