A much-repaired castor on our vacuum cleaner didn't survive it's latest unplanned trip down the stairs and wasn't repairable!
Out with the CAD, Calipers and 3D printer and the vacuum can once again stand and roll straight, I used the "Roof" option in the latest version of Cura and it made a fantastic job of the horizontals with the part on it's side. If I have to print another I'll print it right side up to give the pivot socket maximum strength.
I guess you could scale this for just about anything, the steel pivot pin and axle on the original are mot modelled, the wheels too survived and aren't modelled - until one breaks ;-)
