| Hi
I am trying to find a piece I have on My Collections. It is a technic wheel.
Can I find it from the number printed on it (2895)? I believe Lego calls it a
'design id'. I don't know what set its from because I bought it at
Goodwill.

Hi,
You should be able to find a part by its LEGO Design ID here because BrickLink
uses it as a base for its IDs.
The differences are:
1. Some parts have multiple Design IDs for LEGO but are “bunched” together on
BL. In that case, the BL parts has the other Design IDs as “Alternate IDs” and
they are searchable too.
2. Some parts have one Design ID for LEGO but are deemed different on BL. In
that case, the BL parts IDs have a letter or another suffix. For instance,
3001 = brick 2x4, 3001old = the older version(s), without inner supports.
3. On BrickLink, decorated parts (print or sticker) use the plain part’s ID,
with a “p…” suffix. For instance 3005p04.
4. Some parts are a composite, an assembly of subparts (either sold that way
by LEGO or assembled afterward but difficult to disassemble). Those parts have
a “c…” suffix.
For 2, 3, 4, you can find the part by adding an asterisk (*) to the ID: searching
“3005*” will give you all the decorated 1x1 bricks (3005).
You should also be able to find a part by its LEGO Element ID (called PCC, Part
Colour Code here) too.
That being said, 3895 doesn’t seem to be a LEGO design ID.
Does it have a LEGO logo somewhere? (Not all LEGO parts do but when they have,
we are sure they aren’t clones  )
Could you post a pic?
That’s the ultimate solution when you can’t find part: use the community

I know it's printed small, but please when giving an ID or a clue, try not
to make a whole forum search for a wrong one 2695/2895
Also, a picture would have given you an instant reply, though.
