Summary
[UPDATE 1: Sorry, I just realized, that I accidentally used 80034 ball bearings, not 624 ball bearings for this design. I'm already working on a updated, new, better, nicer and prettier design, using "real 624" ball bearings. I'll publish this new design on thingiverse shortly. For more information on this, see
http://pleasantsoftware.com/developer/3d/2010/04/22/the-power-of-reading/.]
[UPDATE 2: The new design is now available: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2473 ]
Ok, RustySpoon1121 beat me on this one ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2318 ), but since my design is different (only 8 rollers, centrally mounted) and already finished anyway, I publish it as an alternative approach.
I use 624 80034 ball bearings to mount the 8 rollers on the center wheel.
For more information on the project (and more detailed build instructions), please see my blog post at

Instructions
For one Mecanum wheel, you need to print:
- 1 center wheel (either a left "Felge-links.stl" or a right "Felge-rechts.stl")
- 8 holder parts ("Lager.stl")
- 16 half roller parts ("Rad.stl")
- 8x M4x60mm bolts (alternatively, 8x M4 threaded rod, each 60mm long)
- 8x M4 nuts (16x if you use threaded rods instead of bolts)
- 32x M4 washers
- 8x 624 80034 ball bearings
- 1x M3 nut
- 1x M3 bolt, e.g. 15mm or M3 set screw
