Pillow/Mounting Block for Another Ball Bearing

thingiverse

This is just a pillow block to mount another ball bearing by blecheimer. It's the old design, but it works great, and in some situations (with my cheap printer) it works better than the caged version. Most of the time I use the caged version. I have made a block for the caged one as well. Simply print this instead of the outer race. I found that the bearing seems to work better on one side of the inner race depending on where the forces are. I printed, assembled, and sometimes would then have to take apart and flip the inner race to make it run smoother. (That's a tip from the original design, not about the pillow block. I think it has more to do with how my printer decides to run that day than the model itself.) Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: Don't Matter Resolution: 0.1mm
