Skipping rope with 808 bearings

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted better skipping rope for my kids - lets be honest, i googled for the most expensive ones and took some inspiration from them, and designed ones i would like to use.</p> <p>Bill of materials:</p> <p>-2x handles</p> <p>-2x endcaps</p> <p>-2x M6x20mm bolts</p> <p>-2x M6 nylock nuts</p> <p>-2x 808Z or non-z bearings</p> <p>These use friction-fitted 808 bearings and M6 bolts with nylock nuts. I am not sure about M6 length, but about M6x20mm should do it fine.</p> <p>Drill a hole through the bolt to insert a fitting, like a keyring ring through it. If you find a better way to attach a rope, please drop a comment.</p> <p>When fitting the nuts, please remember to use a piece of pipe that hits/squeezes the outer ring of bearing - never put stress on the ball bearings inside the bearing. Bashing with hammer will ruin the bearing.</p> <p>Post makes!</p> <p>I used eSun PLA+ red for the handles, any material should really do it.</p> Category: Toy & Game Accessories
