See in action at http://youtu.be/8uS5_aBJgZs\n.\nThis is my spheroid bearing design that perfectly fits over 1" pvc pipe. Its innovative shape not only ensures alignment but also maintains stability due to the protective sleeve. The smooth rolling action indicates its ability to handle heavy loads efficiently.\n.\nThe tolerances I have set allow you to print all the movable components in one seamless print, without any need for support structures. After that, simply print two more sleeves to fit snugly over each end.\n.\nFeel free to modify my design according to your specific needs and objectives. When doing so, be sure to give proper credit to this source as your original inspiration.\n.\nFind a detailed walkthrough in the provided instructions for additional guidance on utilizing this product.\n\nInstructions\nFor optimal performance, ensure you print at a layer height of 0.1mm and do not rely on support structures during the printing process. On average, my combined print time came out to approximately 12 hours.\n.\nThe density level within your spheroid bearing largely depends on the anticipated load. In this instance, I have printed with 16 percent infill but am planning to increase it up to 60 percent for applications where significant loads are expected.\n. Print SpheroidBearing.stl. Please note that due to its complexity, this file can take a long time to process during the slicing stage. Print 2 additional copies of SpheroidBearingSleeve.stl. Gently grasp any sticking parts with pliers to remove them without damaging your spheroid bearing.\n.\nNext, fit the sleeves snugly into both ends and rely on their frictional attachment to keep them securely in place. You may choose to apply lubricant, such as vegetable oil or other liquid agents, for further performance improvement. Gently push 1" pipe into position inside your newly constructed spheroid bearing as an axle.\n.\nModify the outside appearance of this product as necessary. Whenever making any adjustments, be certain to credit my original source design appropriately, identifying it as a direct remix.
