The prompt

Redesign this wheel. Do not use solid circular disks or bury the rollers inside the side plates. I need the geometry and layout to closely match the FTC Vectored Intake Wheels Rev 5mm / goBILDA 8mm Printables reference. Make a compact wheel with two thin, separate side plates spaced apart by the roller width. The side plates must have large open cutouts between roller mounting points, not solid disks. Put individual free-spinning angled barrel-shaped rollers between the side plates, with the outer curved surface of every roller protruding beyond the outside edges of both side plates. The rollers—not the plates—must be the primary contact surface for game pieces. Use M4 × 20 mm countersunk screws as roller axles. Put a countersunk M4 screw-head recess on one outer side plate and an M4 heat-set insert pocket on the opposite side plate for each roller axle. Each roller needs a 4.3 mm through-hole for M4 screw clearance, plus 0.3 mm clearance on each side so it spins freely. Use an 8 mm goBILDA REX shaft bore at the center: 7 mm hex flat-to-flat inside an 8 mm round outside profile. Make the shaft bore part of a compact central hub connecting the two plates, not a large cylinder sticking far outside the plates. Use 8 identical rollers circularly patterned around the hub. Preserve a constant roller diagonal angle and make a right-hand version; also generate a left-hand mirrored version. The maximum overall rotating diameter, measured across the roller outer surfaces, must be Ø32.0 mm. Side plates, hub, M4 screw heads, and roller supports must stay inside that roller-defined Ø32.0 mm boundary. Deliver separate printable parts: one wheel-frame/hub with two side plates, individual rollers, and a mirrored opposite-hand wheel frame. Show an exploded view proving that each roller is separate and held by an M4 countersunk screw into an M4 heat-set insert. Use the linked Printables model only as a visual and mechanical-layout reference: two open side plates, exposed diagonal rollers, M4 countersunk roller axles, and M4 heat-set inserts. Do not use its original 50.8 mm size; redesign it for a true Ø32.0 mm roller envelope. https://www.printables.com/model/1419247-ftc-vectored-intake-wheels-rev-5mm-gobilda-8mm
