one piece 3D printable bearing
Ғылым және технология
I designed this bearing to be 3D-print friendly. So instead of round balls I used cilinders so you don't need support when printing it.
This bearing is printed with blue PLA plastic on my HE reprap prusa I3 3D printer. It takes about an hour to complete.

If you're wondering how I do what I do and how you can get started creating your own prototypes I wrote a basic guide about it.

This is one of the coolest 3D prints I have ever seen.

Thank you very much GwaNy!
Very nice design to play with right away, getting off the bed. Also it can be the best demo to the school students demonstrating the cool magic of 3D Printing :-). If you have 3D Printer, you don't need Magic Genie :-)

Great design! and love the printer you use. I have a question, you dont use a cooling part fan?

Thanks and no I don’t use a fan directly pointed at the part. This way the PLA doesn’t cool down as much which makes for a great layer adhesion. It does struggle to print small parts but I use my anet A12 for those. The Anet A12 does have a fan directly pointed at the parts.
Incredible design, and what ingenuity, a question as you do so that the piece turns since that stuck

Thank you! But I don’t understand your question. Could you explain yourself a little bit more?

@@BrianBrocken i think he's asking : how do you make the pieces turn if when the printing is done it is normally all stuck?

Which printer are you using?
great job ... my question is if it is possible to scale in the laminator in order to obtain bearings of the desired size

I don't see why not but I will test different sizes and let you know
What is the name of the program you use as a 3d slicer. where can I download it. I found it very successful, great

I have printed this, how is it recommended to break it loose?
How is the experience with 3d printed bearings so far? I am considering fixing a wheel chair using this.

I don't think you should be using 3d printed bearings for a wheel chair, those are quite high load. just buy a conventional steel bearing

what settings are you printing at?

Cain Hammontree My print settings are : Heated bed: 70 degrees Hotend: 210 degrees Layer height: 0.2 mm Infill: 100% Speed: 50mm/s Printed with 1.75mm blue PLA from hobbyking, brand is Esun. You have to make sure your printer extrudes just the right amount of filament because if its extruding just a little bit to much, everything sticks together and you can’t get it apart. Hope this helps

Nice design, but watch out with spinning a bearing with a dremel while holding it. If the bearing jams, the kinetic energy can break your finger.

The bearing jamed constantly in the beginning. Then the outer ring stopped and the dremmel just carved into the side. I didn't have to go to the hospital hahaha. But thanks for the tip ;-)
