Bradley Rigdon who owns Print To 3D shows us how he can print a cool bearing with his 3D printer. This printer is a bit different than the Makerbot that we have featured here before. His Dimension 3D printer uses uses 2 types of material, one that makes the structure of the item and a second material that can be dissolved after the model has been printed. See the videos below for an inside view of the system. The last video illustrates the power of having a dissolvable second plastic material, a functional Rubik’s Cube like game is printed with no assembly needed!
Bradley is an avid RC hobbyist, he shares some video of his collection here and here.

Hey Loki,
How do you figure that? I was totally impressed with the printed bearing.

That’s pretty awesome.
It’s my life’s dream to have a high quality 3d printer like that *sigh*
