Creeper wheel and tire

thingiverse

My wheels on my garage creeper started to fall apart, shown in picture. I decided to print some replacements. The original wheel is held onto the caster by a rivet, so I ground the head off and then used a 1/4" bolt with locknut when I put it all together. I used PETG for the wheel itself at around 75% infill as there's a bit of weight to support. Then TPU for the "tire" at around 90% infill. I had to lever the tire onto the wheel using a screwdriver as it is a tight fit. I'm not sure how long this will last, this creeper is about 20 years old so if I can get close to that then I probably won't have to worry about it anyway. The axle whole is almost exactly 1/4", I passed a drill through it just to clean things out but a 1/4" bolt fits through perfectly.
