Bearing Guide Wheel

thingiverse

I encountered significant difficulties getting the wheel to print accurately without developing "sticky spots" during rotation, yet I was thoroughly impressed by its size and design. To overcome this issue, I re-created the wheel and incorporated a hole that accommodated a 22mm x 7mm bearing perfectly inside. The fit is snug, requiring a bit of gentle persuasion to secure it in place properly. Measuring approximately 7.7mm in diameter, the inner circle of the bearing fits flawlessly onto the support arm. This modification should prove beneficial for anyone facing similar challenges in their own printing endeavors.
