BearingPeg V2 - Customizable FreeCAD
Description
This is a [parameterized FreeCAD model](https://gitlab.com/FloatingCam/devenv/freecad/settings-spreadsheet) of the [BearingPeg](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3647071) I created from the Prusa MMU2 tray bearing. This publication includes several different versions of pegs based on observations I've made and comments I've received. These were all made using the .FCStd file which demonstrates is the complete interactive FreeCAD model. # History I ran across a download for a part I needed that included a FreeCAD model and talked about customization. I was curious as to how they had customized a FreeCAD model and surprised when the changes I made to the spreadsheet were instantly reflected in the view. Version 1.0 of the BearingPeg was a Proof-Of-Concept that worked so I printed five and was done. I thought about making a shorter peg and really liked the idea of a single hole version but couldn't justify the effort. # Customize After seeing that an interactive model was possible in FreeCAD I decided to see how hard it would be to [parameterize](https://floatingcam.com/blog/freecad-parametric-design/) my BearingPeg. The final results are simply amazing. Everything can be changed! -Bearing Size -Axle Size -Width -Length -Hole Separation -Spool Bearing location -more...

I was able to do everything using just the standard FreeCAD installation.
