Bearing, Printable

I had difficulties with the other printable bearings that were available. Mostly, the individual bearing pins would fall over and lock the bearing. I did nothing really new to the design, other than modeling it from scratch, and adding a few extra bearing pins to total 12 pins. I printed using Microsoft's Print3D with a shell offset of 7 microns to minimize fusion of the bearings together. It took very little force to free them from one another and it spins smoothly with very little if any wobble.

I hope you all have the same experience.

EDIT 4/29/21: I found a printable bearing by Boomzilla1 that was a remix of a different bearing by Qube3Bot (not associated with the jet engine) that I know would have better functional results with less failure potential. I remodeled after their design and came up with a v2.

Notes:

If you do find that the bearings are fusing together, to the point that you can't separate them, increase that shell offset (aka: perimeter offset or horizontal offset or XY size compensation).
