3D Printed Bearing

pinshape

This 3D-printed bearing is a cost-effective alternative to traditional bearings. Measuring 1" ID by 1.7" OD and 0.5" thick, it's an ideal solution for any FDM 3D printer. The STL file included makes it compatible with all FDM 3D printing technologies. One notable feature of this bearing is the divots cut into its contact arms, allowing for a solid or paste lubricant to be applied. This design also minimizes surface contact between the bearing and any rod used, reducing friction and wear. For optimal performance, pair this bearing with plastic rods such as delrin, acetal, nylon, or polypropylene. By integrating this concept into 3D printed designs, you can reduce part counts and eliminate assembly after printing, saving time and resources.
