Description

Highly customizable openSCAD script to create 3D printed deep groove ball bearings where the only required hardware is a set of bearing balls. Customize the design to your requirements and generate a ready-to-print STL file. Simple assembly that can be completed in just 5 minutes.

Want to see an example of this design in use? Checkout my USB Powered Rotating Display design which uses the Marble Run Components Kit 003 to create a functional USB powered turntable.

Features

Designed to match the profile of common deep groove bearing sizes

Lightweight design with up to 4x weight reduction compared to steel bearings

Two piece cage design is held in place by tension, no additional hardware required

*all parts pictured were printed on a X1C in clear Polycarbonate

Customization

Print Settings

The example print profile contains my preferred settings for functional prints and makes use of randomized scarf seams to minimize seams on printed surfaces.
