This is a 4 piece/2 part ball bearing design intended for use with nine 6mm balls. Currently it there is no race for the balls, but the bearing is designed to allow one. If someone tries this and feels it needs a race, tell me and I will whip it up.
The ID is .25 inch, the OD is 1.5 inch, and the bearing is 8mm thick.
Assembly should be accomplished in the most obvious possible manner. Print two of each part (inner half and outer half), place one inner and outer half concentric on a table, put 9 balls into it, then join the other inner and outer halves to the ones on the table.
I am unsure which style of stl file people actually need, so the alt.stl files I've uploaded are ASCII and the others are binary.
NOTE: Solidworks make all stls so that 1 unit = 1 meter. These were all made at the mm scale. They will need to be scaled accordingly to print correctly.
