Summary

For a new product I needed to prototype some bearings. Here on thingiverse, there are only bearings the size of 4 cm and bigger, but I needed something that is smaller and works too.

So I started to design a bearing that is under 3 cm and works right out of the printer (with a little bit of post processing).

            <div><p>I designed the bearing in Fusion 360.
