Parametric Caged Ball Bearing

# Parametric Caged Ball Bearing

This is a customizable parametric ball bearing, that is designed to be printed in a single step.

**Note:**
It is extremely challenging to free up the components of this bearing after printing. However, once the components are free, it works great. See the linked video, to get a feel for how various configurations of the bearing perform.

***Hint**
When your hands are bleeding, because you have stabbed your fingers multiple times with the utility knife, and you have friction burns on both hands, ...you are halfway to freeing up the bearing. Maybe the real hint here is that you should wear gloves.*

## Parameter Overview

All linear, axial and orthogonal dimensions are measured in millimeters. Angles are measured in degrees. And ratios are normalized to the range, [0.0 .. 1.0].

### Model Options

* **Resolution**
Resolution specifies the tessellation factor of the model. The higher the tesse
