Oil Free Bushing holders for Lulzbot Taz

thingiverse

Due to the IGUS Bearings being "loose" I contacted Misumi and came up with this solution. These work Great and are quite as heck. The bushing this is made for is the SHBZ10-25 from Misumi. Also works well for the AAM1014-2 from Oilite - these are way cheaper at about a buck each, and they are quieter than the Misumi ones! You will need a vise or pliers to press these into the holders as they are a very tight fit. I have not tested these yet because my printer is currently waiting on new parts. If someone does print this and test it, Please let me know how it worked and if I need to modify this file at all. These Bearings should be pretty Tight in the holder. UPDATE: I have re-made the single bearing holder so that it no longer needs support. UPDATE: I have made both bearing holders Split at the top to allow for slight movement so it is easier to align. This was requested by ross_badger over at the Lulzbot Taz forums. Instructions You do not need support for the double bearing/bushing holder or the V1.1+ of the Single. There are a few diffrent ways to get the bushing inside this holder. I wanted to make it as tight as possible. So way no. 1 Put the bearing on a lathe/drill and spin it in to the holder. Stick a soldering iron through the bearing causing it to heatup, then push it in place. drill out the inside diameter a bit then glue the bushing in place. (not tested) 1 and 2 are the easiest and I recommend using no. 2 as it works well and its easy as heck. Also do not. I repeat DO NOT use a lighter to heat up the bushing as it will burn the oil out of the brass.
