Parametric 3D printed Steel Ball Bearing | Fusion 360

- I modeled a couple of 3d printed ball bearings in fusion 360 that use actual steel balls, the model parameters are all equation driven, that lets me easily create custom ball bearings, by just typing in the size of the steel balls and the dimensions of the ball bearing i want to make, the model takes care of the rest.

I know I am a bit late to this video, but this is some really good work! One of the best videos on 3D printed ball bearings on the internet!
Very nicely done. And thanks for sharing the original files. Makes it so much easier to modify. I already got an idea of integrating one of these directly in an axle, and that would be so much harder with only the STL file.
and the ball cage is VERY impressive, youre a genius!
Well done. Thank your for providing the original files. This is exactly what I needed for a project. The video demo was a great addition. Liked and subbed!
impressive! this is a really good idea, ive been wanting to make custom bearings for a while
thanks! all the models I found used 3d printed balls which obviously didn't work with my FDM printer, it's like making a bistable switch and trying to print the contacts.
the use of an inner plastic ring is a great design choice as it allows me to melt steel shaft into the bearing for a tighter fit.
They work great. Thank for sharing
Hello, this is a wonderful file. Thank you for sharing. Very clever.
Excellent work mate, will have a play with this later on👍
Tnx for sharing. I was struggling with a bearing I made eaelier today. Balls kept falling out or the bearing jams during rotations. U made my day with your contribution. Thank you!
Nice
Top man. Good job! 🤝
Nice! Very useful!
I will try this out.Thanks for the detailed video.
Hello again. Would you be kind enough to provide the parameters for the small bearing?The diametre etc. I have bearings sizes 2mm, 3mm and 4 mm and something aint working right. Thanks in advance and will look out for more of your Fusion and printing projects.
Amazing work, I'm looking for this for so long, becouse ball bearing is so expensive here, thanks bro, you helped a lot👌👍
Thanks. Going to give this a go in a project that need a large bearing around 200MM I think
Amazing, Thank you so much. I now know its possible, i just need to figure out how to do this in onshape :D
Liked and subbd! Nice job. I suspect performance would get even better with a metal filament and some smoothing.... Off to the printer!! Keep up the good work!
thank you, these are amazing, you saved me hundreds because I needed some 55mm od, 45mm id and 5 thickness bearings but they were a couple hundred for the 8 I needed. thank you again
Your welcome..
@@AhmsvilleLabs I can't thank you enough, you made my life a bit easier and my day. Thanks
Happy to help...
Well done - fidget spinner works great.
Ah. That's too bad it cost a few bucks. Maybe I'll get around to buying it. Either way, good work sir. Payment is understandable.
It appears the original files are no longer available.
it is payed!
a trick
But why it can't print also the balls
Very nice job!! you win another subscriber, I have two questions for you, is this your design? why you did not use thread or a fastening mechanics to hold the inner rings together without glue? the glue is no a save way to keep them together, depending on the application you are using those bearings, for me glue is not an option, I have downloaded the files and printed several bearings, all of then works perfect, finally, Can I contact you to talk about business?
This is my design, and i chose glue to cater for smaller bearings that might not be able to hold fasteners, but if your printing larger bearings, you can easily add holes for nuts and bolts, that's part of the reason i shared the source file.
@@AhmsvilleLabs , thank you for your quick response, in my opinion nuts and bolts will add another thing you need to buy, adding cost to the bearing, instead making the a drawing with threads for the inner rings will no add any cost, fastening mechanics is another option so the inner rings could snap together , the glue will be used to keep the thread and fasteners on place, this way you don't need to worry about designing the axle with nuts to secure the bearing from separating, yes the bolts and nuts remain as an option but like I said, is another thing you need to buy for the project if you ever find the perfect nuts you need for an specific project, don't you think so? Will be easier if the equation driven file contains the aforementioned thread or fastener mechanics, would you like to add those features the the file, I'm willing to pay for that file to save time trying to do by myself.
This is amazing! But I have a few questions. What do you use as the lubricant? I know you said oil, but would any lubricating oil work, or should I get one made specifically for plastic? Also, what layer height did you use/would you recommend?
Any lubricant should work, but aim for viscous ones, they won't seep into the plastic and the tend to stay in the ball groove, i personally use grease and it works beautifully.
@@AhmsvilleLabs thank you!
Hey! Thanks so much for this file. I am trying to print your design quite small on an SLA printer, right now with the dimensions 32x25x4mm. The script is giving me errors when I go below certain measures, could you advice how to scale down your design? Thanks!
This size will have a 3.5mm thickness...that space also has to hold the steel ball, so what size steel balls are you using?
I'm curious as to how the top and bottom inner rings stay together. Glue?
Yes glue...with larger bearings you could add holes and then use bolts and nuts or screws to hold them together.
2:00 the cage that is integrated with the outer ring is detrimental to the design. It doesn't allow the ball bearings to roll.
i can assure you, the cage is not the problem. the problem is most likely printing related, you can show me an image, maybe i can troubleshoot it for you.
To be clear, it'll cost you $1.18 US to download the f3d source file.
Will this design work with 1.5mm ball?
Yes, if your printer has a small nozzle diameter, like 0.2 or smaller, but if your using the standard 0.4mm nozzle the smallest recommended ball size is 3mm.
To bad I can't use it on my Linux machines.
that sole reason why I own a secondary windows OS on my PC as dual boot, although I would use a VM if VirtualBox didn't limit you to a craptacular VGPU.
