This is a sort of needle bearing/ball bearing hybrid. I found a video from a guy named Robert Murray-Smith, and he discussed this type of bearing specifically. When talking with some friends about it, we decided it would be cool if we could put this concept to use in a R2D2. Hence this model here. The dimensions are not exact, as I have not made a R2D2. But with some tweaks from you guys, we can make this an excellent part for the printed droids community.
The bearing requires assembly. There is a top half, bottom half, and the rollers. I have included a spur gear that fits the tooth size. You will need to print 72-74 rollers for this. I have not printed this myself, so I don't know if the snap portions will work properly.
I hope you guys will give some feedback for it, and please link some remixes if this works out.
