I everyone,

2 days ago, I spent a little bit of time on Youtube watching what's done right now about 3D printing. After 5 minutes, I watched a video where a bearing was going to be printed.

The printer of the guy was a little bit more accurate than the Cube printer that we have in the FABLAB but I wanted to give it a try…and make a movable object with our printer. 

Here is the result:

Top face 

Bottom face

3d printed movable bearings

As you can see, the result is quite good. The top face is very clean, and the objet can move! Moreover, the printer was also able to write all the inscriptions on each bearing. 

The difficulty was to erase all the plastic holders under each ball, one by one. 

Here is the video of the object moving:
