Bearings

I’m working on designs for MakerBot printable bearings.  The proof of concept tests so far have been very promising.  I’ve printed one that’s a little larger than a 608 bearing and turns quite well.

The secret is that I’m not using printed ball bearings, just the printed casing.  :)

My final proof of this part will be to install it in place of one of the bearings holding the Z axis in place.

Worse than his usual rubbish

This last season of Doctor Who has been really great.  You have probably gleaned from this blog that I’m a big fan of the show.1

I just re-watched one of my favorite episodes from this season (there were many great episodes this season) – the one with Vincent Van Gogh.

A great bittersweet episode for a melancholy day.  :)

  1. Bonus points if you can name the episode from which I borrowed the title of this post [↩]
