If you wish to print the gnomon in two halves : -- Gnomon_Northen_half_1_of_2.STL -- Gnomon_Northen_half_1_of_2.STL They should fit on a 100x100 platform.

This is a 17 piece printable trumpet. It was modeled somewhat after a Bach Stradivarius. I have printed one myself and the sound quality and playability is honestly pretty bad.

Linear Bearings, IGUS Style !!! by PropsFactory

These Linear bearings are good replacement parts for those who get bored with "NOISY" LMxUU ... I Know somehow some "Cheap Bearings" can do this ... But !!! Instead of changing all the carriage ... switching to PLA "old style bearings", I designed "ready to print" Bearings, There is Three equivalents, LM6UU, LM8UU & LM10UU !. They are all the same size as original bearings :) Tooth thickness is made to print well on 0.5mm nozzle, altought a LM10UU 0.35mm will print really nice :) More tooth is better :) Hum :) well First thing ... simple insert the printed bearings in your rods, and "play with them" rolling/sliding, to ensure they slide well, you can also lubricant them !!

Designed for 608 / 608ZZ ball bearings, the kind commonly found in skateboards, inlines and rollerskates.

Has a Lego base underneath, so it can be mounted on any Lego plate to keep it in place.

It is slightly offset from center, so one or both pieces can be flipped around to adjust the width finer than a "lego unit". It uses a Lego module (originally written by Andrew Sweet, which had do be included straight in the scad file for the customizer to work.
