Summary
This is a very small mecanum wheel - 1" in diameter. Most mecanum designs use a central hub with vanes style but I found that these designs didn't print well on my TOM as there isn't much support structure for the vanes. This is a first attempt at a design with more "meat" to hopefully get a better print. I've also included the original rhino file.
So far this is just one of the mono-directional wheels.

Don't give up so soon. My T-O-M prints them very well. No raft or support. At least it printed the first right and left.
nice - need the mate and the wheels but should make for a nice small mecanum wheel set
What's your platform temperature? If the 45 degree overhangs are getting saggy try lowering the bed temp (say 115C or 110C).
Thanks ben - i'll give that a shot. Im using default settings which i think have the build temp set for 125.
I have mine set at 100. Print calibration cubes and lower the temp until the hourglass shape is minimal.
