Customizable parametric bearing
Print Profile(1)
Description
Constrained ball bearing generator. Inner diameter, outer diameter, height, and tolerances are customizable. ATTENTION with a tolerance of 0.25mm, more force is required for the first rotation after printing as it is too tight. If you want a smoother rotation, change the tolerance to 0.3. Apply normal supports for the balls as they are suspended. Balls are retained by an inner circumferential line
Here is the legend below:
Once printed, remove the supports holding the balls
I have also included another parametric design for small bearings (under 10mm inner diameter) which uses a friction principle not with balls and rollers but with internal toothed angles, as for small bearings, it is difficult to accurately print balls or rollers
Happy printing
