Skipping rope with 808 bearings

thingiverse

I wanted better skipping ropes for my kids. Let's be honest, I Googled for the most expensive ones and took some inspiration from them. Then, I designed a few that I would actually like to use. Bill of Materials: -2x handles -2x endcaps -2x M6x20mm bolts -2x M6 nylock nuts -2x 808Z or non-Z bearings These skipping ropes use friction-fitted 808 bearings and M6 bolts with nylock nuts. I'm not entirely sure about the length of M6 bolts, but M6x20mm should work fine. To attach a rope, drill a hole through the bolt to insert a fitting, such as a keyring ring. If you find a better way to attach a rope, please share it in the comments. When installing the nuts, use a piece of pipe that hits or squeezes the outer ring of the bearing. Never put stress on the ball bearings inside the bearing. Hitting them with a hammer will damage the bearing. Post your designs! I used eSun PLA+ red for the handles, but any material should work fine.
