625 Ball Bearing (Assembled)

thingiverse

<h3><strong>Standard size 625 ball bearing.</strong></h3> <p>Requires assembly, allowing for a small tolerance and easy printing of the object, with no cleaning or welding needed, making repairs a breeze if damage or wear occur.</p> <p>The balls at both top and bottom are precision-cut to prevent them from becoming egg-shaped during printing.</p> <h4><strong>ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION :</strong></h4> <p><strong>1-</strong> Lay the outer ring flat.</p> <p><strong>2-</strong> Place one center piece inside the outer ring.</p> <p><strong>3-</strong> Insert 15 balls between the inner and outer ring (a drawing pin or needle can help guide them into place).</p> <p><strong>4-</strong> Align the second center piece and push it down firmly (it may be challenging, but this ensures the bearing remains intact).</p> <p><strong>5-</strong> Depending on your printer and slicer settings, the bearing might jam after assembly, but don't panic! Grip the inside of the bearing with pliers or a similar tool and turn it; the rolling will smooth out over time (you'll notice a difference within a dozen turns).</p> <p><em><strong>**</strong>Recommended:</em>- Apply some plastic-safe lubricant, like silicone-based lubricant, to extend lifespan and keep the balls in place while assembling.</p> <p><strong>Note,</strong> the outer ring and balls are compatible with my 688 Ball Bearing (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3413668">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3413668</a>)</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 1,</strong> 03/03/19 : Added a smaller variant of the balls (0.1mm smaller) for those experiencing issues with smooth rolling (.stl files added: All-in-1_SMALL, Balls_SMALL, Single_Ball_SMALL)</p> <p>Check out my other designs! <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/gabhunter123/designs">https://www.thingiverse.com/gabhunter123/designs</a></p>
