Idler Body 5x16 pins?
Idler Body Assembly, Step 2:
I was looking to make a replacement idler assembly, and it looks like the "625" bearings are skate bearings. Is that correct? From what I read, skate bearings have 8mm shafts, but the assembly instructions say the pins used to locate the bearings are "5x16sh" is that 5mm by 16mm? Seems like there would be a lot of slop? Where can I find these pins, or just find some 5mm stock and make them?
The bearings that came with the kit weren't very good, don't know if they need to be, but I thought I'd upgrade it.
Are there any better designs of this part to help with the nut placement and stability? Printing in PETG with CF or ABS or Taulman Nylon improve the stability?
