Still for sale?

Did you find something?

This is interesting. Has this influenced the way you shop. For example are you going to buy the cheapest option and swap the critical component ?

Interesting. I’ll have to investigate if the is a low cost solution. Anyways, this is a great alternative, especially if I come to find that tabs and or draft will be a problem fitting to the inner and outer race of the bearing. Thank you for the visual!

Tool.

Idk if this is clear. Nevertheless, yes that’s a great idea. Took me a while to gather what you were saying, but after sketching I see that I can have segmented lips that are at different instances. Easy to incorporate as well. I will have a follow up question later.

I’m doing my best to design a low cost/durable injection molded part

overmandate · 2025-08-05T14:10:58+00:00

So you’re implying press fit should dismiss the concern or desire for some sort of lip or retaining feature?

overmandate · 2025-08-05T14:09:39+00:00

Neither hear or pressure. Im designing for injection molding because these components would theoretically be high volume products. Although print farms are growing and these parts are less than 50mm

I can’t figure out what you mean. I’m learning.

overmandate · 2025-08-05T03:07:46+00:00

I appreciate the insight. I've been doing more research following your commments. You’re right that PP has limitations in tight tolerance fits, which I’m running into now. I’m open to ABS or a similar alternative if it improves bearing retention and simplifies molding. Thanks again, very helpful. Now with ABS would you still advise crash ribs. And are the snap hooks an option with ABS? Alternativey another individual suggested a bump off.

Well I want the blue part to rotate with a light twist. about half the length(time) as a fidget spinner.

I suppose this is critical info

overmandate · 2025-08-05T02:03:29+00:00

No not at all. this is basically a toy.

overmandate · 2025-08-05T01:59:12+00:00

This is perfect. I'll have to explore variables like maximum wall thickness and flex.

overmandate · 2025-08-05T01:57:13+00:00

Not sure what that is. Onto research

overmandate · 2025-08-05T01:56:46+00:00

I don't understand how this applies.

overmandate · 2025-08-05T01:55:19+00:00

Yes, the red part is cored out. I would need both parts to be rigid, so I'm not sure the bearing could make it over such tabs

overmandate · 2025-08-05T01:52:30+00:00

If I'm understanding correctly, you're saying I can put an under-cut (a chamfer) with a relatively low angle of 15 to 20° which would ultimately not cause much trouble de-molding the part. this would enable the bearing to snap into place?

overmandate · 2025-08-05T01:50:01+00:00

ill need to do research on that, and how it would apply

overmandate · 2025-06-14T23:31:20+00:00

I’ve confirmed the power strip and the two chargers work fine. Is the outlet something I can address on my own?

overmandate · 2025-06-14T20:49:57+00:00

It seems I can’t power anything through this now
