Rod balancer

This is a rod balancer I 3D printed specifically for 36hp VW rods. Custom bushings can be made for other sizes but may need to modify the scale tower if crank end is too large. Also made for my scale that is 24mm thick but could just add a spacer to match any scale. The 6 Bearings are cheep skate board bearings. 22x8x7. Uses 3 bolts 5/16-18 UNC. Think I used 2" and cut 3/8" off two for the pins. You may need to run a tap through the 3D printed threads.I printed with 2 layers at 20% gyroid infill and is more than strong enough. Doing it again I would try 10% infill. Note you will need to print two pins.I added the Fusion360 file for easy editing.
