Plastic filament won't work for bearings here, because the bearings must move
freely on rods even when twisting pressure is applied.
My main problem is a dire need to make 8 mm bearing seals that actually fit
the 8 mm rod. The silly rubber seals that come with cheap bearings have a gap
wide enough to allow tiny particles into the bearing.
Any ways to make close-fitting but easy sliding bearing shields out of
whatever material?
Thanks.
8mm valve stem seals.
VitonĀ® fluoroelastomer, Teflon... no silly rubber.
And springs wrap around them. See?

Nothings getting past these.
