Wagon Fork

I received a wagon as a gift, and unfortunately, the wheel suspensions were broken. Therefore, I designed these to make it roadworthy again.

I screwed the fork onto a 40x40 item on the base plate of the wagon and then connected them.

I designed a rigid fork and one with a bearing shell. However, the rigid one was better for my use.

For the rigid fork, inserts are pressed in on the top and bottom sides to then screw them through the ITEM.

To ensure that both inserts are synchronous, care must be taken that the first insert is still soft and hot so that the screw can then be screwed through both inserts from above or below. This screw remains in the inserts until they have cooled.

This is the wagon in question !! 

I built the wagon for the beach to transport my surfboards from A to B. I used the thing every day for 4 weeks. It had to cover almost 3 kilometers every day. Everything worked according to plan.

Furthermore, I designed a thru-axle and spacers for the wheels. I printed these for testing in PTEG HF and PA6GF.

The spacers in PTEG gave way a bit after 3 weeks due to sand, sun, and salt water, but they still held. 

The versions in PA6GF are still in top condition.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

The thru-axle MUST be printed solid. The spacers can also be printed with infill.

For pulling, I built a drawbar from a 20x20 item and an old surfboard mast.

For the mast, I then printed a plug connection and a handle for pulling.
