Great for axial load applications (anyone looking to make a lazy susan?)

This easy print bearing I've designed works very well. It's as easy as printing the upper and lower races flat on the plate, and also print the ball cage with no supports. make sure your printer is dialed in dimensionally for best results. Once your cage and races are printed its as simple as snapping in the BB's into the cage. once they snap in and have filled the cage with BB's, you stack the thrust bearing. And you have a nice free spinning bearing. for applications where there will be more consistant force on the bearing id recommend lubricating them with plumbers grease or white lithium grease.

I plan on making more in different sizes. Also I've made double ball bearings for applications that need both radial and axial loads. Please comment bearing sizes you'd like to see added.
