📏 Dimensions and construction

• Wheel diameter: 210 mm
• Running surface width: 100 mm
• All parts are 3D‑printed — no bearings or extra components required
• Two screws included: the basic screw and Screw Plus for fine‑tuning the clearance between the wheel and the base

⚙️ Function and behavior

• The wheel spins smoothly, but produces a small amount of noise during use (see video).
