I was inspired by kageiit’s design but wanted to reduce material costs and make the Tush Rollers easier to reposition and more secure.
While hexagons are great, they added unnecessary material costs. The rails already provide a solid connection, so I switched to a simpler cross-brace design. This change uses less material and prints faster. I also made the base floor thinner since the rails offer sufficient support, especially with my planned modifications.
I wasn’t a fan of the friction fit design for positioning the rollers, as they tended to fall off. I replaced it with a slide system for easier repositioning and better security. Additionally, I incorporated ross549’s idea of using M3 bolts to keep the Tush together, which I found very effective.
When I started using the design, I noticed my filament brand was almost reaching the top of the container. So, I redesigned the Tush to be lower while maintaining compatibility with the sliding rails.
Lastly, I redesigned the base to accommodate a plug for my dryboxes, as I prefer not to drill into my containers. I liked Thomas’s plug design (which I also redesigned) and needed space for the plug to fit through. Cutting off the end of the plug was an option, but I already had a redesign in mind that required the space.
This system works great with my drybox mount.
