Spacers for Adding Caster's to the 32" Infinity Game Table
This design is for spacers to fit the casters I put on our new 32" Infinity Game Table. The game table is fantastic, except that it is quite heavy and requires at least two people to move it around safely. My wife yelled at me for leaving it out a few times, so I decided to make it easy for her to move herself when I'm not present to assist.
The parts list is not extensive or overly expensive, and the fabrication and assembly is simple. I decided to print custom spacers to mitigate any potential for injury from exposed threaded ends of the casters. When tightened securely, the top end of the threaded ends on the casters will be nearly flush with the top of the nut. 5mm in height seemed to be the right size for the job. Resize as you see fit or if other hardware is used. I bought all new stuff and paid more than some would find comfortable spending on a fabrication of this type, but the end result for me was a safe and secure fit with a factory look.
I take no responsibility from use or misuse of these instructions. Download of these spacers and use of these directions are done at your own risk! Good luck!
Note: Print the spacers using 100% infill. They are not huge and will not take a ton of material to print out.
