This means I did my job well and this part works. Thank you very much.
Considering the limitations of 3D printing, including the difficulty of printing a sphere, I decided to design my own bearing. I designed the most popular 608 bearing with dimensions of 8x22x7. As you know, it's a very small bearing but widely used in many amateur projects. The main issue with these printed and commercially available bearings was the excessive play.
My proposal is a single-row, crossed-roller bearing. Due to its design, the crossed roller bearing can handle both radial loads (perpendicular to the axis of rotation) and axial loads (along the axis of rotation), as well as combinations of both.
The bearing is printed in parts and assembled into a whole. There is no print in place.
How to assemble?
Apply a small amount of grease to the center ring and paste the individual rollers. The grease will hold it in place during the folding process. Then squeeze them with the other two pieces. Look at the assembly drawing.
Successful printing!
