Just for fun... 'Skateboardz' are one piece prints of a skateboard with moving wheels. They make a fun little print with moving parts plus you can have lots of fun with them by flicking and flipping them...so a great fidget toy as well!
On a well set up, precise / accurate PLA machine this is a small and easy print. The parts are all very thin so print with high infill for strength... and it will still only use about 10gm of filament.
'Skateboardz' can be printed in you favourite color... and scaled up if you want. However, scaling down much may result in the axles fusing so the wheels won't turn. At standard scale 'Skateboardz' are 100mm in length.
Please refer to the images and print settings / instructions for additional information... and post images of your Skateboardz for other members to see... particularly if you've decorated them in a special way and / or of them doing some amazing stunts!

Printer Brand:
MakerBot
Printer:
Rafts:
Yes
Supports:
No
Resolution:
Standard / 0.20mm
Infill:
PLA / 2 Shells / 50% infill for strength... it still won't use much filament!
Notes:
Raft is recommended for good build plate adhesion as this is printed on its side and the contact area with the build plate is minimal
No support required... and do not use automated support.
Free the wheels / axle...
If necessary gently wiggle the wheels and push them back / forth sideways to break the axles free. A quick spray of a light lubricant on the moving / contact surfaces will help the wheels spin more freely.
