BallScrew Tool SFU 1204

thingiverse

I created this little gadget to easily swap ballscrews from one shaft to another. I had a ballscrew that kept jamming, so I found a replacement on Amazon with a smaller shaft at a great price. To make the transfer quick and easy, I designed this tool to swap it over in no time. During the process, one ball bearing popped out of place, but fortunately, it was an end-bearing, so I simply screwed it back into position just a bit and installed the new bearing. The whole process worked out pretty well; however, the walls are thin, suggesting that printing with ABS would be a good choice because it needs some flexibility, and smoothing with Acetone really helps a lot. https://youtu.be/M7UdDELsNL0
