I made this messing around in Fusion 360 one night and found it to be surprisingly durable, with good spin characteristics. Beyond that, I appreciate its aesthetics. The "conical wheel box" file is the box that the wheel snaps in place with. The wheels themselves have a bit of "give" along the cut lines, and the box itself should bend slightly when pulled apart so you can slide the wheel into place. The three part version of the wheel doesn't have the cut lines so you'll have to rely on the flexibility of the box itself.
After that, spin until your heart is content. It makes an excellent fidget toy. I'm excited to see if people are able to use it for robotics or r/c as well. Here's a fun example use: turning your micro-quadcopter into a flying unicycle! https://youtu.be/8tKdCq0f2fI

I've included a few different versions depending on your printer capabilities. The one piece .stl is your best bet so long as it will stick to
