ECX Torment Caster Block

thingiverse

Smashed a caster block getting ready for the track the next day. Even biginternetretailco super shipping service wouldn't get me one here in time. Dug around the net a bit, didn't find anything useful, so figured I'd whip one up. It isn't perfect. But it is definitely stronger than stock. At 100% infill, .28 layer height, I can barely flex it. Next to the stock there is a noticeable difference, this being a good bit stronger. The spindle screw holes are starter holes, they're centered, but not the correct size. I opted for drilling them out myself so they would be cleaner. The spindle fits in nicely, tighter than stock, but not tight enough to bind. Every printer is different. If it is a bit tight, sandpaper will save the day. I'm replacing the other side with a printed one as I type, I'll leave my stock for a track spare. But I doubt I'll need it. 1.0 is pictured, 2.0 just removes the bottom corner where it meets the lca. I originally used the ol' Platos to clear the lca, cutting the corner in the model is a bit nicer. I don't see any difference in strength between the two.
