Hi all, thought I would share some development on printable bearings and printable bearings with PTFE.
The first part is just an LM8LUU printable bearing, nothing special about this and others have made similar. Thingiverse link below:
The next is a hybrid type using 2mm PTFE tube inserts, I am also working on other variants of this and looking at filling the tube with household sealing silicone to prevent the tubes collapsing over time. Thingiverse and Youtube link below:
This was the latest test using 4mm PTFE rod for a prototype camera slider based on 500mm carbon fibre rods. Thingiverse and Youtube link below:
