Not only that, but the calculation of the circumference given in the video is also wrong. Instead of π 3.41 was used. This would result in a circumference speed of 216.4km/h Edit: also the same speed is assumed for every bearing independent of it's radius.

Worst than that... Rotational speeds needs to be expressed in RPM. Even tho, the peripheral speed increase a lot with small radius increase due to 2piR expression. Smaller one withstand the rotational speed because its peripheral speed is way lower than her sisters with a bigger radius, si it even heats up a lot less due to less "motion" that causes friction and subsequent failure of the "beans". If u calculate the distance the biggest bearing runned in 15 secs and compare it with the distance the smaller one did, I'm quite confident that the biggest one had won even standing the mere 15 seconds...

I concur with the above. A solid testing jig is needed for more accurate results. Annealing could (or could not) improve results as well. But this may be above the scope of this project. I did enjoy it though. 😃🍻

4:59 - I feel this 50mm one failed prematurely and it wasn't the bearings that failed, it was your design flaw of having the hex diver opposite to the locking tabs which locked the center hub in place. As you applied pressure with the drill you pushed the locking ring out. If the tabs were on the same side as the hex driver, it would have lasted longer, but I think the bearings would have piled up quickly anyway. But in a way, the 50mm didn't fail the test, (even though it likely would have), you failed it. Another of the rings came apart this way as well.

I think that the design should address the difference in size. There wasn't a size mass ratio. Regardless very enjoyable video.

I think the test is inconclusive because of the variable of the drill angle which was not fixed, the drill was held by hand, the more angle you put in the drill more stress in the part, more heat. Test need to be redone with the drill fixed to remove this variable.

So without lubricant, the basic idea of this test is "does TPU and PLA melt when it gets heated by friction?"...didn't really need a test to answer that.

Still not understand why you choose TPU for the bearings balls... sound like a bad idea. And rotation speed in rpm next time (the bearings is not going anywhere ;)

You also used cm instead of mm for your calculation. But your average diameter cannot be 41mm cause it is too low. From the video it may be your average radius. In this case average circumference is (2*41*3,14)mm = 257.4mm Surface speed is 257.4mm*2800rpm = 720720mm/min = 43.2km/h.

You should do the same tests with a load on the shaft ! (Also using rpm and grease)

I use super lube on PLA gears and bearings. Used with low RPM. Thanks for sharing!

A bearing needs to be tested under load, because that's what a bearing is made for. The maximum RPM is irrelevant if it can't even handle 20N of weight.

This is awesome! any tips on how to dial in multiple parts for printing like that? mine always have layer shifting if i print more than a few

Also wondering if you applying lateral force with drill socket setup.

really cool experiment, would love to see it again with some light oil or grease and see if they survive, new sub as I hope you try again, cheers!

Lubrications such as silicone based lubrication (typically doesn’t swell plastic) would likely help that sticking problem you had

Great video, I’d like to see this repeated with lubrication. I can see uses for 3D printed bearings for things like turn tables for a cupboard or table. Any kind of machine that doesn’t rotate too fast. Maybe a rotating display or scanner.

there are some fail that because the ball part, and there because the central shaft, maybe you could engineer more thicker and stronger lock mechanism in there, also lubrication help a long way too, I know metal the ideal solution for long-term, but this kinda thing could be use for much easier load too, 3d printer are awesome!

I wounder if sanding the bearing would help reduce friction and or Greasing.

Please redo with grease

pla got some good ball bearings, could use this for a robot build

I think your larger radii would pass your test if you change your design to allow for more ancor points (make it more than two). That way the drill will distribute the force more evenly if you have, say 6 or 8 points of contact to the inner circle (rim/spinning part)

Made all rollers same size? May should be sized for bearing needs. And flexible rotor? Try graphite powder as “lube”?

first you need grease, second... you need to hold the drill perpendicular, and without pushing/pulling on the bearing itself as I see clearly that's the point of failure...

Having different materials for different dimensions means you can't make a direct comparison between them. You can only do an estimation comparison.

Are those bearings lubricated with grease bfore testing???

Whish software are you using to create the 3d model ?

Занято, а смазку не пробовали добавлять?

does anyone know how to pull the hex code for those two filament colors?

You're brave for having your fleshy bits near that.

aside from goofy testing parameters.. cool build.. seems a silicone lube might change outcomes.. I expected big bearings to fail (more speed) ahead of the small ones.. nice skills on 3d printer..

you should make bracket for the drill, so the angle is the same for every test

the first bearing failure was the vise grip losing a bit and the inner race catching on the vice jaw.

Cool!

How do you get linear speed from rotational speed??

you should try removing one of the ball bearings from the ones that failed may work better?

Do you have a grasshopper course? Alternatively, do you have one you recommend?

Ignoring the velocity issue. Was there a reason for testing TPU? Doesn't seem like a logical choice as it deforms easily (kind of the point) absorbing a lot of energy as it spins causing it to heat up and eventually fail.

You need a test jig so you can test reliably and not have so many variables coming from the way you hold the drill.

As already mentioned by many, lubrication would have been nice to see, but more importantly as far as I know it is generally a bad idea for ball bearings to run them without a radial load (in fact that's more or less what they are designed for) and I think this point is even more important as tolerances are pretty high here. I like your effort, btw. :)

You should have fixed the drill so u allwas get the right angle.

I've been looking at this too, and I chose the hybrid route (steel bearing balls and races, with 3d-printed inner and outer cases). While this increases the complexity a bit, it also increases the lifespan by MUCH. You can take a look at the concept for a smaller bearing here kzread.info/dash/bejne/qpZ71tOpl8nKgrA.html and for a large diameter one here kzread.info/dash/bejne/iGF7z7t9aNaqltI.html

Making extra rollers was great idea?

besides Pi beeing wrong the "average diameter" for sure isnt 41 cm asuming he's working on a 1cmx1cm grid work mat the max. diameter appears to be approx. 13 cm for the outer edge of the rotating part. based on that its more like: Ø0,13m*Pi*2800(RPM)*60(for rounds per hour)*0,8(assumed efficiency between no load & actual RPM) =54,89 km/h other than that i rly liked the over all quality of this video

no lubrication and calculation are wrong as pointed out by many. Also looks like the black/gold filament has better result than silver/while, the colors added in the filaments can and have impact on the quality of the print. Still an impressive result, good work!

Pretty nice job on the print quality. You however should've held the drill in the vise and hold the bearings in your hand. The unstable wobbling of your arm made the tests fail earlier than necessary.

What about load for this bearing?

I take it there is no lubricant being used on these bearings ?

Imagine if you had lubed the bearings.

All bearings use some kind of lubrication, in this case a lightweight molybdenum grease would have made all these bearings last significantly longer, also for those that came to say he drilled it on an angle, it doesn't matter because the type of bearing he printed is meant to support some angular loading and ball bearing isn't designed to receive any, also his drive mechanism was poor but it did ensure if drilled too angled or pushed to hard it would just fall out, so it was fair. Do a grease vs no grease comparison plz

I think part of the problem is that there doesn’t appear to be lubricant in the bearings. Keep in mind even metal bearings use lubricant and this kind of stress is beyond the scope of “straight from the printer” projects. I would suggest a wax as it’s less likely to react to different types of plastics compared to WD-40.

Main problem with this test is that it was run without load. Bearings without load serve no purpose.

Es un test muy subjetivo, para que fuera un test realmente objetivo, se debería haber hecho un soporte para los taladros. Tal y como él hace los test´s, la duración de los rodamientos creo que depende más de la inclinación y la presión que ejerce con los taladros que con la velocidad que soportan los rodamientos. Aún así, gran video!

bearings don't appear to have gone through any process to smooth out layer lines, no lubrication, normal people test bearings by rpm not by km/h, and the rotational speeds given are a very rough estimate at best since they were assuming no load.

Yes it can. Just make good design, use better suited materials (maybe nylon, or clear pla, i don't know), use higher tolerances, lubricate it, mount it properly - i mean not in 1 point with strange forces applied by hand. But you already know all of this.

He also had too many variables going on if you do this again please only change the bearing material and for the size test both PLA and TPU on the same diameter bearing

I feel like the 40 pla didn’t get that fair of a run the second round, the white adapter just got pushed out the back, the actual bearing was perfectly fine.

not good but not bad, for a more accurate test you need a balanced way to spin the bearing so that it doesn't create friction in one spot or more and also lubrication is needed so it doesn't create over heating and frictionless spin. but it was a goods test to see how a bearing would act if no lubrication and un balanced spin would act noting it is plastic and metal bearings would heat up and shatter but still I see what you were going for gg

It's not very accurate when you use your hand to hold down the drill. That has introduced way too many uncertainties. Typically the outer and inner parts of the ball bearings are fixed along the same axis. However, having your hand holding the drill would shift the inner rotation axis away from the outer bearing axis

I think the reason others fail is because there is no ball separator sleeve.

I am shocked. Shocked I tells ya. I for cannot believe that a bearing, which is a precision part even on the cheap end, can't be made with a 3D printer at home out of material that can be broken between the thumb and forefinger.

Curious to see how using airsoft BB as balls helps.

The bearings are not lubricated at all, and there are so many balls that they interfere with each other, so the balls bounce in the opposite direction. So, TPU bearings with high friction do not work well, and in that state, only one side of the bearing is fixed, and a vertical load is applied to the center shaft compared to the driving direction, which increases the potential for problems. Therefore, it is necessary to add a lubricant such as silicone grease and perform a driving test with a normal load applied to the bearing. And the number of revolutions (rpm) is a simple speed per hour and the calculation should not match. It may be problematic to request a retry for a video that is already 5 months old, but I would recommend that you try the bearing test again as requested by the subscriber.
