Description

Edit 29/nov-2023:

In order to make the bearings slightly less tight, you can fidget/roll with them for some time. Also I've applied a smidge of lithium grease in order to make the bearing roll MUCH smoother.

Edit 22/oct-2023:

If you have trouble with the rollers “growing” into the inner and outer rings, you need to lower the gap closing radius in the slicer. In OrcaSlicer, this is found under Quality > Precision

Print in place 608 Roller Bearing for mechanical prints.

My bearings are greased in-between the rollers with lithium grease, ensuring smooth motion and longer lifetime for the bearing.

The model has pretty tight tolerances, so each individual roller has to be broken free. Do this carefully as to not snap the rollers. However when the rollers are broken free the bearing is very smooth and tight, with very little axial movement.

This model is reverse engineered and redrawn from scratch from @MatveyKukuy's Ultimate 608 bearing. This remix features another roller and user definable tolerances(in the f3d-file).
I had no benefit from using different radial- and tenon tolerances (RT and TT), so for this model, only a single tolerance is used.
Also added a chamfer on the edge, to match machined bearings.

The bearings in the images are printed with 'Dutch Filament (MCPP) Glitter Grey PLA' at 0.23mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle on a Bambu Lab X1C.

Do you enjoy my work?

Feedback, makes and ratings are much appreciated. I'd love to see what you have printed and hear about your exciting builds.

kinda too tight but they work

@Cernott

Hi! Thanks for downloading! These bearings get slightly looser over time, so if you fidget/roll with them for some time, they should get less tight. Also applying a tiny bit of lubricant makes them roll MUCH smoother.

100% accurate @addikey it printed, but it does not rotate and won't break free. I ended using these in my design though and it was actually working fine for the design in question. If you need a proper functioning bearing, do not use my profile and also, probably avoid this design.

Hi! Thanks for downloading my model! I have looked into this problem, and have updated the description. Please check out the fix there! (:

Perfect design

@Cernott

Thanks a lot, glad you like it!

@Cloneman

Hello, A little careful work until the rollers come off, but then perfect. I first use the bearing as a figet for a few hours, then the rollers run smoothly.

These work great! I have used them in my recent model for a substitute of real metal bearings. They are the exact dimensions of 608 bearings so they worked perfectly! I have added a link to your model in my model description for others who may not have metal bearings. I'm sure others will appreciate your work too!

Can't turn. Every individual roller can move slightly , but can't turn until I destory some roller

@user_1290226293

It turn now, even very smooth. But to be honest, buy a bearing is a much better idea.

Incredibly cool to 3D print a ball bearing! Model had zero movement even with pressure to start. Broke each ball loose with a tiny screwdriver, then applied some lithium grease and voila - a functional ball bearing. Planning on using inside the Nintendo Switch Carousel Holder 3D print: https://makerworld.com/en/models/14299#profileId-16327
