Description
Didn't like the way the 5mm pulley shaft had no support and with the high speed of Sailfish printing made it vibrate and flex. I made these to keep proper tension on the blets and steady the shaft.
Instructions
Printed in ABS with the fallowing settings Infill 50% , Layer Height .2 , Shells 3
You need to print 4, once done the mounting holes will need to be drilled out to 3mm or 1/8".
Bearings used were 5X11X4 you'll need 4 and they press fit into the pillowblock.
Mount these on either end of the 5mm shaft with 8 M3X16mm bolts and 8 M3 nuts.
I mounted mine 49.5mm in from each edge and 14mm down for the first hole 38.5mm for the second. I filed the holes a very small amount so it could self align so there was no tension up or down on the shaft.

Where did you source the bearings?
Here is where I bought them, just the bulk version of this bearing. http://hobbyalley.com/store/pr...
No just down at the local hobby store, they have a stock of bearings of various sizes in bulk. Think they were $.75 each.
