To me, the axle sticking out from the centre of the foot appears to have a little bit too thin cross sections. This observation is only based on viewing the part in L3Lab, so it may be wrong. What do you think? Other than that, it looks good! (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Wow! What a part! Great work! If there is one thing I can nitpick about, it would be the lower "partial" axle hole. The real part has two small "nibs" on the lower portion, which are used to hold an axle in place. You can hear a "click" sound if (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
