Heavy Duty 6008ZZ Roller Bearing

Designing a 608 roller bearing with real bearing mechanical principles was not an easy task, and now I wanted to put to the test the things I learned and create something new, something not so physically small. Why not try a 6008 bearing? The extra "0" = +46mm in outer diameter, 68mm in total. Again, my goals were easy printing, minimal post-processing, low friction, good stability, and durability. It was fun designing this one! So if you need a huge, Heavy Duty 3D printed bearing for making a real 3D printed car, for example, or just for fun, here is it!

Printing tips:

It is important to use the provided print profile. It was carefully tailored together with the model to challenge the low tolerances. Please make sure that your bed is clean and use dry filament.

Post-processing:

To break up the bearing and any micro adhesions, push the cage and the rings a couple of times alongside the bearing axis, then rotate the bearing, exerting pressure on the rings. If there are still rollers that are not rotating, rock them in their beds.
