I think I should post an update here. For two years I used all the pieces DeuxVis sent me and all of them cracked sooner or later. Recently I had used up all of them and contacted him again. Instead of re-printing the same object we now decided to redesign it. With this new variant the rod of the wheel directly goes into the wardrobe. I think it is unlikely that this variant will ever crack, Iby hanno - Wanted
Crack... The next one. The black piece you sent me broke, this time at another point. I've replaced it with one of the grey ones. This seems to fit much better than the black one. It's not as askew as the black one and the wheel part fits in much better (doesn't fall out if I lift it). I'm inclined to think that this whole endeavour might not be worth the hassle :-)by hanno - Wanted

This might work, but maybe that'd be the point to say it's not worth any more as the effort exceeds the value of the whole wardrobe. But anyway: iby hanno - Wanted
Got the parts yesterday. I used the black one now, it's fits a bit less good than the first (blue) one. The hole seems to be a little bit too big and the wheel falls out if I lift the wardrobe. Nothing serious, it doesn't affect the everyday use of the wardrobe, just transporting it is a bit more problematic. However, as you can see on the picture it's a bit skewed, so I think it may break soon.by hanno - Wanted
Sadly, I have to report that the piece broke yesterday. At the same point the original one did. Photo attached. It was looking so good... Maybe someone has suggestions how to improve stability?by hanno - Wanted
Wow... Got the piece today and it fits JUST PERFECT! I'm really impressed.by hanno - Wanted
I'm reposting our private conversation about the holes in the plastic part as it might be interesting for others, too. ------------------------------------ Thanks for the reply, that's what I suspected for all those unused holes. And yes, that's a good idea to share the discussion, you can repost that in the thread if you wish. -- Guy hanno Wrote: ---------------------------------------by hanno - Wanted
Attached find pictures from the top and the bottom. You'll also see the broken piece. My location is Berlin, Germany. DeuxVis: I'm not skilled at producing 3D models, so if I could send you the parts, that'd be great. I'd send you both the correct one and the broken (and the first you should obviously send me back if you're successful). Would be great if that'd work. I think shipping to Franceby hanno - Wanted

Hello, A couple of years ago, I bought a kind of plastic wardrobe from IKEA. It's called Bardu and consists of metal rods and a plastic leaf on it. It stands on three wheels. There's a small plastic connection piece between the rod and the wheels. And - you guess it - one of them is broken. IKEA is not able to ship me a replacement part. I've attached a photo of a non-broken one. Does anyone tby hanno - Wanted
