Roller
Print Profile(1)

Description
I designed this roller tool primarily for leather though it could be used for any craft that requires a roller, with two goals in mind, to create a stable roller which could roll over stitches and to be able to transfer patterns to leather.
To assemble
push the two pins through the two holes in the handle of the main body, then using a glue of your choice apply a coat to the joining side of one of the handle sides and apply using the dowels to align the components, ensure that the dowels are pushed into the handles fully. then repeat this step on the other side.
Push the rail into one side of the fork and align the roller block, push the rail through the block and into the other side of the fork. - Do not glue this as this is the means to remove the block to attach pattern plates!
I split the print for my build for aesthetic reasons
I used:
PLA-CF - for the main body/fork and the roller cylinder *(only because I had it not because I needed the parts to be stronger)*
PLA Wood - for the handles
If you choose to split the print up please upload your photos and tell me your materials.
This model/profile is for the Roller only, you can find the roller patterns I have made here:

I opted to use one non printed part in this build, only for strength and convenience , a 6mm diameter rod measuring 60-65mm in length to act as the bar holding the roller block onto the fork. I used a steel nail cut to length for this as shown below.
Alternatively you could print a 6mm cylinder to that height, if you choose to do so I'd recommend printing it with 100% infill so as to have enough strength to apply pressure evenly without bending.


If this is something you could find useful please let me know how it works out for you and upload any photos of your prints!
Happy printing!
