Bearing, Printable

prusaprinters

<p>I had difficulties with the other printable bearings that were available. Mostly, the individual bearing pins would fall over and lock the bearing. I did nothing really new to the design, other than modeling it from scratch, and adding a few extra bearing pins to total 12 pins. I printed using Microsoft's Print3D with a shell offset of 7 microns to minimize fusion of the bearings together. It took very little force to free them from one another and it spins smoothly with very little if any wobble.</p> <p>I hope you all have the same experience.</p> <p>EDIT 4/29/21: I found a printable bearing by Boomzilla1 that was a remix of a different bearing by Qube3Bot (not associated with the jet engine) that I know would have better functional results with less failure potential. I remodeled after their design and came up with a v2.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>I3 MK3S</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>40</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> Prusament PLA Black <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>If you do find that the bearings are fusing together, to the point that you can't separate them, increase that shell offset (aka: perimeter offset or horizontal offset or XY size compensation).</p></div></p> </p></p></p> Category: Engineering
