What is it?
-
A simple Customizer for bearings, you give it the model number and it spits out an stl file for a fake bearing of that size.
The bearings are fake in that they have no moving parts, so they would have a lot more friction than a real bearing, but there are a number of situations where they will do in a pinch.
Why?
-
Primarily Just wanted to test out the customizer app for another project I'm working on.
I expect that those experienced with SCAD would be wondering why I bothered. Yes, I know that bearings are a very trivial thing to create in SCAD. but I also recall that when I was first starting out with my own printer a year ago, bearings were one of the things I kept finding myself needing but running short on.
So I hope this is useful to any newbies. :-)
