Lateral roller fitting for ball bearings

prusaprinters

<p>This is a fitting for mounting ball bearings laterally on boards (plywood, particle board), i.e. as sideways rollers. It is configurable for various ball bearing sizes with Customizer. Default settings are 16mm board and 608Z ball bearings. Not all combinations will work as intended.</p> <p>The axle I used was an 8mm aluminum pipe.</p> <p>You'll need to saw a slot into the side of the board since the design is set to have the axle rest against the edge of the board (less load on the plastic part).</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>TronXY X5S</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.3mm layer, 0.6mm nozzle</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>15% Honeycomb</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>The printer needs to be able to bridge the slot for the ball bearing. I had no issue using 608Z bearings (some 8mm to bridge), but wider gaps might cause problems.</p></div> </p></p> Category: DIY
