Description

PDF

Initially made to be used as moving prop/fidget gadget on a Honeycomb Storage Wall by using this adaptor: https://www.printables.com/model/1062931-hsw-to-bearing-adaptor-parametric

(the bearing wasn't pushed the whole way in for the picture)

The model can naturally also be used with only the bearing (without the adapter) where you want to have a decoration/toy/fidget/… ship's wheel.

The default bearing is an 608(ZZ) but you can change the size through the openscad parameters to suit your specific bearing type needs. This is also a bearing model that has a printable option and that is already used in popular prints.

 

Printing information:

  • For the best visible surface I recommend printing this model on it's back and to use a lot of regular supports to keep the model stable.
  • Use a random seams for a better look and more accurate holes

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I scaled it slightly down and changed the connection point to use a bearing instead
