Suitcase wheel housing replacement
A broken corner wheel housing turns a good suitcase into landfill, yet the part is just a bracket that holds a 50 mm wheel on a 6 mm axle. The housing is roughly 70 x 45 x 60 mm with two 6.2 mm axle holes, a 4 mm wall that wraps the suitcase corner, three countersunk holes for M4 bolts through the shell, and generous 5 mm fillets for rolling over curbs. Print it mounting face down with 6 walls and 50 percent infill in PETG or ABS. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Create a suitcase corner wheel housing 70 x 45 x 60 mm for a 50 mm wheel 20 mm wide on a 6 mm axle: 4 mm walls, 6.2 mm axle holes with 2 mm wheel clearance, three M4 countersunk mounting holes, and 5 mm outer fillets.
Fit notes
Suitcase corners are all shaped differently, so a generic file rarely sits flush. Give SpeakCAD your wheel diameter, axle size, corner angles and the original screw positions, and it produces a housing for that case. Refine the profile in chat and preview before paying for the file.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
