PASTA lite - Fully Printed Gear and Bearing Set

Introduction Fully printable print-in-place sleeve bearing set for PASTA lite version 0.3 or earlier as well as the OG Pastamatic . For PASTA lite Receiver version 0.4 and later , the printable gear and bearing set will be included in the main print profiles and the set on this page is not needed. The 608 sized bearing and 20 tooth idler from here will fit but the reducer gear (the big one) will NOT fit as that has been made shorter. These spin much better than cheap 608 bearings and are a little louder, and will be fine for occasional use. Buy why? - I am designing out specialised hardware anywhere as possible to make designs more accessible to those just starting out and have not yet accumulated a lot of hardware. I've opted for a sleeve design instead of ball/rollers as it has much less radial and axial runout, run quieter and print faster. Print settings 0.2mm layer height, 2 walls, 3 bottom, 4 top and an infill of your choosing. Reducing the layer height may help the hub release from the wheel. Seams should be random on cylindrical/conical bearing faces, and seams should be painted to be inside the grease hole where possible. If you cannot release the centre hub from the outside, do NOT scale the model. Adjust the flowrate to hit dimensions or try a different filament. I have tried changing the wall print order to outer/inner but I got worse results as the seams were more pronounced. Note that the sleeve clearance is 0.2mm. Material PLA works great. Lubrication Each part has a grease hole to easily add a lubricant of your choice. This is highly recommended as they will run much smoother and quieter. Some kind of light oil is recommended but just use what you have on hand. However, do not use a “water displacement” spray, they will dry up and stop working quickly. That is all, enjoy!
