GT2 Idler - Snap together

thingiverse

These GT2 Idlers are built to last, consisting of two halves that fit perfectly together. Two precision bearings (available on Amazon at http://amzn.to/1Rx65BE) are designed to slide smoothly into place. Once the parts are assembled and tested, I secure them with a strong JB Weld (http://amzn.to/1PoUvRg) bond, then carefully file the seam for a precise fit. To ensure a snug connection, these idlers are engineered to be tight-fitting, requiring some filing to get them just right. To prepare the bearing hole, I use a 10mm endmill with care, making sure not to drill through the bottom. This ensures a clean and precise finish.
