Description

6001 bearing, spins well! No supports, ~6min print time for 1 bearing and plug

 

I used airsoft bb's as balls for the bearing. I'm sure any general 6mm bb will function fine, but I used some precision bb's.

 

There are 2 parts to this, the main bearing body (races) and the ‘plug’. I filled the bearing races with airsoft bb's until they were loose, but no more bb's could be put in. Should be 8. 

 

Once filled, I test-fit the plug and did some light sanding on one or two of them (some bearings will be perfect off the bed). I superglued the plug in place, taking care not get as little glue as possible on the actual race part of the bearing and plug.

 

This is v2, I'd like to remix this and take the gluing part out, so keep tuned!
