Bearing blocks incl. 8mm bearing (LM8UU) (Anet A8/A6, Wanhao duplicator i3 etc)

This is a fusion of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1172838 and http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:102482. I wanted to combine both designs instead of printing each one separately, so I merged them together - modified the bearing to fit seamlessly into the block from end to end - and voila! The result is a finished bearing block with my preferred bearing already securely fitted inside. It fits perfectly on the 8mm rods of my Anet A8. Print Settings Notes: printer: Anet A8 (customized) slicer: Simplify3D infill: 30% (fast honeycomb) supports: none wall layers: 4 top and bottom layers: 3 speed 100mm/s print time: ~40min Post-Printing At first, the bearings are extremely tight but the rod still slides in smoothly. I simply used the sharp edge of the rod to carefully remove a small amount of material until the rod moved freely but remained stable and quiet throughout the bearings. You can also use a drill, just take care to use low speeds and check frequently to avoid removing too much material.
