Hey! I was just playing with OpenSCAD and customizable stuff. I used to make this kind of bearing for some prototypes some time ago and it used to be quite useful. This is a customizable parametric version to let your imagination fly away.
I think the best way to test parametric designs is pushing the limits...
For some serious prototyping works quite well with good Airsoft balls, but if you want to experiment you can go from that, to marbles, cherry tomatoes or whatever spheric object.
Id leave here some of the versions I made, but note that are adjusted to my sizes and printing settings, proceed with caution, better make your own!
Disclaimer: No vegetable was harmed while testing this design (all the tomatoes went straight to a salad).
