How it works

Pick the number printed on the bearing. The generator fills in bore, outside diameter and width itself.

The bearing is pressed into the seat. A stop on one side holds it in place and the shaft runs through the opening.

Printing notes

  • Print with the opening facing up, no supports.
  • If the bearing sits loose, reduce the clearance by 0.05 mm. If too tight, raise it.
  • More walls (at least 4) make the seat stronger.

Common questions

Which bearing number do I have?

It is printed on the bearing, for example 608 or 6001. Otherwise measure bore, outside diameter and width.

Which clearance do I need?

Usually 0.1 mm for a firm press fit. Depending on your printer 0.05 to 0.2 mm.
