00:00Hook asterisk ever heard your printer start grinding instead of whirring?
00:04That's a dry, seized bushing talking, and yes, metal bearings fix it for under 7 bucks.
00:09I went through the listings so you don't have to.
00:13Coming up, the top 5 metal bearings for 3D printer repairs.
00:17Hashtag 1, the grab bag asterisk this one hits the top spot for one reason, 10-40 pieces,
00:225 different sizes, 608 ZZ, 623 ZZ, 626 ZZ, 687 ZZ, 607 ZZ, for $2.92.
00:32One cheap order covers every little bearing a printer or skateboard-style rig needs.
00:37Thousands sold, near-perfect ratings.
00:40Best value per bearing on this list, hands down.
00:44Hashtag 2, the sealed workhorse asterisk same 8x22x7mm 608 fit,
00:49but you get 10 ZZ and RS double-shielded bearings for $6.82.
00:54ZZ keeps grease in, RS gives you a rubber seal on both sides for dirt and dust.
00:59If your printer lives in a garage or on a dusty bench,
01:02that shielding is the feature that actually matters.
01:05You pay a little more per piece, and you get it back.
01:09Hashtag 3, the budget champion asterisk carbon steel, ABC 7 precision, 608 Z, and 608 ZZ,
01:1610 pieces for $1.86.
01:18This is the cheapest fix on the list and it carries a 5-star rating with over 4,500 sold.
01:24Carbon steel takes a hit harder than stainless,
01:27so put this one on your Z-axis or a high-speed stepper where precision matters most,
01:31not in a wet environment.
01:34Hashtag 4, the precision spread asterisk 10 ABC 9 bearings in a range of Mr. Sizes,
01:38MR52 through MR128, MR137, MR148, all ZZ shielded, for $6.41.
01:46A BEC 9 is smoother and tighter than ABC 7, and the size spread means one order replaces every odd
01:52microbearing in your machine.
01:54Great pick if you like to tinker with printers, extruders, and small robotics.
01:59Hashtag 5, the stainless steel specialist asterisk also ABC 9, but stainless steel and smaller,
02:04SMR74 ZZ, SMR85 ZZ, sizes like 4x7x2.5, 3x6x2.5, 3x8x4, 10 pieces for $6.74.
02:15Stainless won't rust, and these tiny sizes are perfect for print heads, idlers, and hobby rigs.
02:21Nice bonus, half of them fit fishing reels, so they earn their keep twice over.
02:26Outro asterisk all 5 links are in the description, prices included,
02:30because bearing sizes are confusing and nobody wants to double-check them mid-project.
02:35If this saved you a noisy printer, smash like and subscribe, more repair and upgrade breakdowns coming.
