Delrin wheels? #44
|
I see that your BOM includes the Xtreme V Wheels. Have you tried using the slightly cheaper Delrin Solid V Wheels? Not sure if we need the increased compression resistance of the Xtreme wheels, or if this was simply a preference of color. With 6 wheels, the $1.80/wheel cost savings would add up to nearly $11. |

I use the cheapest wheels from Aliexpress and have no issues so there is definitely cost saving-potential. Life-span is another issue though and I cant really comment on that. |

@tdurk93 I imagine that most v-slot wheels work fine, I just chose the Open Builds ones for predictably and because many other required components can be found there. Builder's choice though, do whatever works for you 👍🏻 |
