The Impossible Bearings

For best quality click the "watch in high quality" button.

This is the impossible bearing I designed in 3D and then printed on my brand new top of the line Dimension SST 1200es 3D printer.

If anyone is interested in purchasing a 3D print of The Impossible Bearing ontact me at printo3d@printo3d.com.

These take about 5 hours to print and several hours to post process in the Soluble Support Bath.

Each bearing is 2 inches in diameter.

4:49 those bearings are not fully functional. THEY ARE MISSING BALLS look at those gaps.

@windywindy No ball bearings missing just no cage to keep them spaced apart.

Was it really nesesary to go all the way to the work bench just to use the exacto knife?

[team222badbrad]

@1977BanditTransAM I like to keep my digits intact... I do THIS everyday so I know what has to be done to do so...

@Fulacine To demonstrate the technology's abilities. 

[Garretthierisser]

@woodbr30043 rapid prototyping, for presentations and designing/development

[woodbr30043]

out of curiosity what would this be used for if anything?

[thazero13]

oh i see balls bearing . . .

[team222badbrad]

@andromedarr No just ABS plastic.

[andromedarr]

@team222badbrad Can you do steel items?

[hasa5x9]

Do you reckon the 3D printing could "print" the Impossible Triangle. 

[skaaltel]

Cool

DAMN! i thought this is a skateboard bearings

This technology is not that new, researchers have been experimenting with printing actual organs with such a printer of course using organic compounds.
