I tried to make the model with a durable, stable and, above all, soft edge. First test models had sharp edges and were uncomfortable to use.
Required part: 608ZZ bearings or any 608 bearing
Bearing dimensions: 8 * 22 * 7mm
Dimensions of the spinner: I designed the bearing location to be 21.8 mm. This will hold the bearings properly, but will not break them.
Dimensions of the knob: I designed the knob pin to 8.25 mm.
Bearing preparation
The bearings I bought needed preparation because they didn’t really spin from the grease.
- Check that the selected bearing rotates, is not clogged, broken bearing balls, etc.
- Soak in alcohol such as isopropyl. for a few hours.
- Remove from alcohol, clean or blow out with a high pressure compressor.
- Pour a little instrument oil on it, turn it a few times and wipe it off.
Assembly
- Of course, print out the modell. = D
- I used a press to insert the bearings, but it can also be used with a rubber hammer, a smooth, strong flat table, or a vise.
Comment
- I made it from PLA, but there was a pla that broke several times with the same settings as the others. It happened with one of the 6 types of pla.
- I tested the model with a high pressure compressor and several random drops, and it worked properly.
- With this type of bearing, I was able to achieve 45-80 seconds of rotation, depending on wear.
- The Prusa Galaxy Black and Azure Blue look really good together.
