“The cage was custom designed for the application. Due to a restricted design envelope, the cage needed to be smaller to accommodate the shaft and the housing bore of the gear is finished to support a bearing raceway. If not, an outer or inner ring would have been required,” explains Davies.

Grease (or an oil bath) is the lifeblood of a bearing. When lubrication is lost or compromised, surface friction causes rapid heating. Heating degrades the treated metal surfaces of the bearing and rapid wear and failure ultimately follows. Contaminants like water or dirt can hamper the lubricant’s ability to work. Keep bearings clean and dry. Many bearings can be lubed quickly with a bearing packer, such as this. Or use the original method of hand packing by working grease thoroughly into the bearings with your fingers.

Always check the clearance at both ends of wide main caps, like this thrust bearing. We measured a big-block Chevy once that had a tapered cap that changed the clearance front to back by almost 0.001-inch.

One element that’s often overlooked is the filament spool; if it’s not rotating smoothly, the drag it puts on both the extruder and movement of the print head can cause difficult to diagnose issues. For his custom built printer, [Marius Taciuc] developed a very clever printable gadget that helps the filament roll spin using nothing but the properties of the PLA itself. While the design might need a bit of tweaking to work on your own printer, the files he’s shared should get you most of the way there.
