Igus Bushing Press

thingiverse

I printed the bearing blocks and used my vice to press them in but I wanted them centered in the block, so I came up with this. It is a perfect size to easily fit in the hole while still supporting most of the bushing. The slightly larger marks the 1/2 way point when inserting the bearing so just press it until the short wider section is even with the outer edge of the block. The blocks I used are: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1172838 While I haven't yet installed the new blocks, they the Igus bushings are a tight fit that I would not have been able to press in by hand.
