Could you post the source for this bearing? I'd like to crank up ID on this so I can use [less weak] printed shafts

The ONLY bearing on Thingiverse whose author states the inner and outer diameters. People, take a cue from Chylld! Would LOVE to have a parametric version of this... thanks!

This is what 3D printing is all about - And - I am about to try your bearing - 5/18/2011.

You certainly deserve the accolades Chylld. Your prints are awesome. Your designs prove the sky is the limit. Thanks for letting us print your designs.

How do you upload the pict of a copy? Maybe just adding to this message?

Printed out pretty well on my thing-o-matic, but I'm having a hard time cleaning out the balls.

Also, it seems that the inner hub is hollow instead of solid. And for some reason, skeinforge-0035 skenied it without a top or bottom, so I have only random toolhead-trails between the inner diameter and the outside of the interior hub.

Jeesh! I'm new to the Thingiverse and I wanted to contribute a tested ABS version of your bfb file and it seems it was put here!!.... http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...

Maybe it can be moved here and I will get a picture up soon.

Anyway I attempted a couple of axon g-code creations and they created unusable build files, so I made changes to the PLA bfb file you posted and after a few attempts I was rewarded with a great print out of ABS that was a dream to clean
up!

I really like the profile you used and I wish I could figure out how to generate such nice support structure myself. Ahh well, I've only had the printer built for a couple of weeks, I should be patient!

This is probably one of the best printed bearings. I like the way it looks. My filament spindle is very reluctant and I have had the extruder actually lift the Z-stage off the leadscrew nuts because the filament failed to feed. Now once I put a second one of these bearings on the spindle I will have a truly unstoppable 3D printer. I use a MakerBot Cupcake CNC, btw.

Looks awesome in your pics!!

Unfortunately I tried the BfB file with my Rapman 3.1.1 and Orbi v2 PLA, but did not work at all!!! raft and first few layers are very thin in deposition size... do you know why that?

I cannot find the right settings for this PLA! :'(

Thanks

all my respect for the awesome design! I also tryed to print it, but unfortunately didnt came out as I expected. printed in Orbi PLA v2 and the head for some reason was kicking off the balls from the bearing :(. I know this can be a bad calibration, but all my other prints are perfect. dont know what can be the problem. well I suppose I
´ll have to try it again.

cheers and thanks for sharing!

Tried to print and it printed great but it was really, really difficult to clean. I think that it will be easier if is printed in two parts.

Can you be more specific on the support config?

Thanks!
