AS the post title says,looking to put 4 wheels on my Silverstone FT02. I have tried Google but the best I can come up with is lockable threaded castors. Open to suggestions.
Take a look at lian-li case wheel : http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/produc...dex=48&cl_index=2&sc_index=30&ss_index=14&g=f
Hmm,not sure I want to pay that sort of dosh and I am a tad concerned as to how I would fit them to the FT02 anyway. I have just noticed that they are solid aluminium, so not for me. Thanks anyway.
Could you give us some clues on what you are looking for ? Material, size, color, how it is attached, price, etc. ... A little drawing would be even better. This is almost impossible without that Edit : and two very import question : - How much does your case weight ? - Where will the case stand ? Diffrenet wheel for a different use (on your desk --> brake almost mandatory, hard floor ... then standard wheel, soft floor like carpet --> larger wheel, etc.)
Something like this? http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/sp-2-887-346-plastic-appliance-rollers-pack-of-2.asp
My apologies, I really did not think sticking wheels to a case would be quite so problematic. Ft02 weight is 15kg before components. It will sit on my desk. Brakes definitely at least on two of the wheels. Bolted due to the odd bottom of the FT02 Black. Rubber/plastic non-slip. don't want to spend a fortune. Reason for wanting this is due to a debilitating condition I lack the strength to move the case easily. I think something like this would probably do http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50mm-Twin...plies_Office_Furniture_ET&hash=item5d2f9f5803 but I am not sure as to whether they will work very well on a desk. I think they will tend to slide as opposed to turn.
Found this lying in my robotic parts link : http://www.active-robots.com/products/motorsandwheels/ball-casters.shtml They are ball casters ... I'll try to find ones with brakes. I'm mad at myself for not thinking about robot parts. Those ones are nice and can hold 50Kg : http://www.robotshop.com/dagu-ball-caster-10mm-30mm.html
Any good: These from B and Q http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9370525&fh_location=//catalog01/en_GB/categories%3C{9372015}/categories%3C{9372044}/categories%3C{9372218}/specificationsProductType=castors Or from Screwfix, but alot more expensive, http://www.screwfix.com/p/polyprop-swivel-braked-100mm-diameter/17080 http://www.screwfix.com/p/polyprop-swivel-braked-80mm-diameter/13960
Thanks for all your suggestions, I have decided to go for the 6 x 40mm castors 2 with a brake with washers and nuts. Then to compensate for the fact that they would more likely slip on my desk I have bought one of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-000-BB. I already use one of these but its getting a bit tatty so by replacing it I can cut the old one to the necessary size. Thanks again all.
