The Ball Bearing (Airsoft BBs)
Print Profile(1)
Description
The ball bearing:
- extremely low tolerances: (0.035 mm), resulting in little wiggle room
- Airsoft BBs instead of 3D Printed balls, ensuring good rolling behavior despite small clearance
- inner diameter: 13mm
- outer diameter: 29.1 mm
Hello everyone, this is my ball bearing. If you want to know how to assemble it, you can watch my assembly video
For assembly you will need:
- all 3D Printed parts
- 7 Airsoft BBs (6mm, any weight)
- something pointed for assembly
assemble like this:
add 7 BBs:
press the inner ring into the center:
place BBs in a circle, equally spaced from each other:
insert spacer into the ball bearing:
tap it into position with a gentle strike, making sure you hit straight so the ball bearing doesn't break
Instead of Airsoft BBs, one could use 3D Printed BBs, whether this will be successful is debatable. I will link another MakerWorld model that offers high-quality Airsoft BBs, but there is no guarantee that this will work, as the tolerances are extremely low (0.03mm)

→ here it is important that the balls are shrunk to 99.01% because real Airsoft BBs are not 6mm thick, but 5.95 - 5.94mm!
