This series serves as an exploration of embedding ball bearings in 3d printed objects. These STLs are the result of the experimentation process.
This download includes 4 different 3d printable models in which you can embed a 1/2" ball bearing. Pause print at approximately 10.5mm, push the bearing in, and continue the print.
**DISCLAIMER** These models can potentially cause damage to your printer- I can't guarantee anything, as every printer is different. I also take no responsibility for any damage caused by trying out these prints. Be careful with these experiments!!
If you don't have a printer, you can buy these pre-printed here

**All the files have been pre-oriented to save you some set up time! All you need to do is drop the parts into your slicer and hit print! This download includes pre-arranged layouts for 205x205 (or larger) beds for easier printing!
