Rod End using Bracelet Beads

A printable rod end housing using bracelet beads. The beads were purchased from Hobby Lobby, were 10mm in diameter and the hole is around 3 mm in diameter (i.e. fits M3). The hole in the housing is also set up for M3.

Press fit in a vise with 2 rod ends stacked, this version still causes some plastic deformation when pressing without heat (haven't actually tried with heat yet). Maybe will reduce thickness to make pressing easier. I have purchased other bead sizes and will try those as well s
