Lowrider 2 CNC Wheel Locks

********** WARNING AND UPDATE 12-18-2020 ********** These wheels locks are NOT sufficient. One of them busted overnight last night, which caused the one above it to bust as well. My gantry was fortunately caught from falling by a shelf that was next to where the table was. If you print these, use PETG or something else stronger than PLA. Also, you should lower your gantry fully to the table to reduce the amount of lateral stress on the brackets. I will be "beefing up" the brackets soon as I need 4 new ones. I will update again once I've done this. ********** END UPDATE 12-18-2020 ********** These are wheel locks for the Lowrider CNC to lock them down to channel strut for storing the CNC table vertically. I would print these with 70% infill. I printed mine in PLA+, but PETG would likely be better. The hole in the wheel lock brackets is for a 1/4-20 bolt. You can use any 1/4-20 knob you like. This one looks nice: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4278455 The backing nuts can be purchased from Home Depot if you're in the States. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Superstrut-1-4-in-Strut-Channel-Spring-Nut-5-Pack-ZA1001-4EG-10/100115936 I've also included the DXF file for the pivot points on the cart. I made mine from 3/4" pine but if I did it over again, I'd probably use oak or some other harder wood. Video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/CszMnVafDXc
