Hanging bearing

thingiverse

This is a school project for mechanical engineers that we conducted at OsloMet during the autumn semester of 2018. The project involved creating a hanging bearing, which in real life was designed to support an axle with a static load of 35 kN. Initially, it was made from S235 material, but I wanted to 3D-print it to demonstrate how 3D printing can enhance actual prototyping and visualization. The nuts require oversized dimensions by 5% (105%) to ensure smooth movement and minimal sticking between them. This project is not intended to bear huge static forces or replace an actual steel object with its robust properties. Choose your desired infill pattern and layer height for the best results. I opted for a 20% infill and a 0.16mm layer height on my Ender 3.
