An experiment that we should not have started

3D Printed Mecanum Wheels with our brand new Lulzbot Taz 6 3D Printer.

We got a Lulzbot Taz 6 3D Printer for HackerSpace and we went a little crazy...  these pictures are of the parts for some mecanum wheels for the robot.  Check out recent twitter post from @davejavupride to see an awesome example of what these wheels can do.

Our Chassis is a little too wide for us to fit these wheels properly within the required footprint so we will have to wait until next year to add these to a skinnier version of our robot.

If you want to print your own check, out these 2 thingiverse.com web pages for ideas.
There are plenty other designs available to try out...
