Description
Oh no, not again another ball bearing...
Sorry, but I just have to show my final design. jonathanw's comment on my last ball bearing ( thingiverse.com/thing:57762 ) gave me new ideas. I reduced the bearing to three parts. The inner ring is now made of one piece and need not to be snapped together.
Unfortunately the assembly is a little bit more complicated. I made a simple assembly tool that makes things easier. Take a look at this video for the assembly sequence:

PS:
Thanks jonathanw for leading me to a new idea!

Hi, may I know the diameter of the balls? or do you have the STL file of the balls? Thanks!
The softair balls have an exact diamenter of 5.85mm. I uploaded a stl-file for the balls, but I never printed them.
