Bearing Shield for 4x13x7mm Pulley (line retention for drawer/linear slide)

Last crawled date: 5 years, 8 months ago

This part was designed to keep the cable (UHMWPE braided fishing line, in our case) in place on a pulley to drive a linear slide mechanism. The particular U-groove pulleys were sourced on Amazon.
Because 3D printed parts relatively soft, to fasten the pulley to your mechanism I'd recommend using a pair of jam nuts to take more of the load while allowing the pulley bearing to rotate freely.
