I designed replacement parts for a handheld wireless e-file to improve its durability, especially when used in wet environments. The original device had ball bearings that rusted easily, so I created an alternative solution without using ball bearings.

Components:

  1. Motor Adapter:
    • A custom adapter to securely hold the tool and connect it to the motor.
  2. PTFE Bearing Cover:
    • A bearing cover made from PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) to reduce friction and prevent rust.
  3. Internal Bearing Cover:
    • Placed inside the PTFE bearing cover to further reduce friction.

Assembly Instructions:

Remove the Original Ball Bearings:

  • Disassemble the e-file and remove the rusted ball bearings.

Attach the Motor Adapter:

  • Secure the custom adapter to the motor to hold the tool firmly.

Install the PTFE Bearing Cover:

  • CNC machine the PTFE bearing cover to the correct dimensions.
  • Insert the internal bearing cover into the PTFE bearing cover.

Reassemble the E-File:

  • Reassemble the e-file, ensuring all components are aligned and secure.

Notes:

  • The PTFE bearing cover is CNC machined for precision. A 3D-printed version may work, but it has not been tested.
  • This modification ensures the e-file operates smoothly without the need for traditional ball bearings.

This solution enhances the durability and performance of your handheld wireless e-file, especially for tasks involving water.
