ARTIFACT:
ahah ... modeled the FIXED CASTER :)

that was a fun shape to model.

... and the swivel caster

also fun to model - not as "accurate" as the fixed caster (some funky metal curves on this one!), but measurements are still all exact

Why am I modeling these things like that? ... because I love to plan in advance... see how it will look at certain angles (rotating around the CAD scene), how all the elements will connect. To me this was VITAL in the way the base cabinet was built.

Next I placed these casters on the cabinet in the CAD scene and find the best placements..

(overview)

Below: simulating "human vision" (angle / height of average person walking by + using the cabinet):

(below: I placed the casters to avoid any contact with the floor when tilting the cabinet back ... see the flat angle between under & back casters is away from the plywood)

... Next? ... Put the casters on the cabinet "for real" :)

ARTIFACT:
one more model for the road... :)

CHERRY PUSHBUTTON MICROSWITCH!

This one is going to be handy when I plan my CP in details.

AcidArmitage:
you've got some serious "planning ahead" skills

MaMeNnO:
Now that's planning! Looks pretty good.

I think you forgot to model the screws... :laugh2:

MrQuan:
I put castors on the back like you, makes moving it a bit easier but it's still heavy as all hell. On the base I have these teflon carpet saver disc thingies :)

Anyways, nice planning. Looks like an Ikea ad ;D
