Description

Print in place.

 

A fidget spinner bearing that I made when I was learning how to model for my 3D printer. Use fine resolution as the roman numerals along the side are about 1.5 mm in diameter, all at a 45 degree angle. 

 

It uses a herringbone gear to keep the bearing spacing—modified a little to aid in printing. Make sure your printer is capable of 0.15mm tolerance as that's the gap between parts.

 

Use a brim to keep the bearings secure if printing with a PEI plate. I had trouble on my first print for that reason. It prints wonderfully on a BIQU Frostbite in PLA on my A1, surprisingly a little better than the P1S did.

 

The blue material is Amolen color changing PLA. Pretty neat filament. Translucent enough to give it some depth, and the color changing part gives the blue a slight gradient so it doesn't appear as flat monochromatic.
