608 Bearing Pillow Block Housing

thingiverse

Create a block with dimensions of approximately 1.7 inches to hold a 608 bearing for use as the swivel in your LEGO R2D2's front foot. There are two options - a simple version and a fancier one with thinner edges, but be cautious as it may have overhangs. This bearing holder can also be used in other robots. Don't forget to check out the video of the finished full-size LEGO R2D2 on this link: https://youtu.be/wdFkKSe0ZX0. Remember, when printing, make sure to flip the STL file so there's no void without supports. It might be stronger with an aluminum plate on top, but it seems sturdy as is. You could also consider making it only as tall as the bearing for easier installation, depending on your application. This design was made specifically for L3-G0, a full-size LEGO brick R2-D2.
