Configurable roller bearing

thingiverse

I made an OpenSCAD script to generate designs for roller bearings. The support must be printed with a soluble material, I used HIPS and ABS but you could use PVA. The attached renders show the internal workings of the bearing and the support material. The print is quite difficult and I have not yet had a completely working bearing.
