Hey guys,
I saw this Solid V Delrin Idler pop up on makerfarm.com. Were any of your kits shipped with these? I'm wondering if there are any reasons to "upgrade" the double V slotted delrin idlers I have from the 8" i3V to these solid versions.

I have one of the newer kits, (a month old?) it came with the regular dual V slotted wheels.Quote:

I justmgot an i3v and it came with the double wheels
What printer models do you guys have?
I just got the 10"
i3v 10"
i'll let you know when mine 12" comes in friday, as to the wheel spec
Interesting data points, thanks guys!
My 10" i3v should be here sometime next week, I hope. I'll let you know when I get it.
How can they tell? It's not like these split ones are soft.Quote:

If you want to change them out this is all you need right?

Or upgrade to the wheels of steel:

or Xtreme Clear:

Yeah looks like the exact same ones. I like the clear ones but I'm not sure if those wheels of steel would be an upgrade haha. I see many aluminum shavings and loud grating printing going down that path :P
Those steel ones do say they are for hardened rails. I'd rather have the wheels wear than the rails wear...
Maybe they are used for an Open Pizza Cutter. (aka my next project) :rolleyes:
I received my 10" last Wednesday, but didn't open the box until yesterday. I do have the single wheel idlers.
IN my 12" one I received split ones. I will be testing some of the Clear ones on the Z axis first i also ordered the split v version of those.
