There were a couple of designs for these. I made a playlist of the ones i came across, but some organizing+on-wiki documentation is definitely in order.

The best ones probably use Off The Shelf Ball Bearings / Thrust Bearings and whatnot, with FDM 3D Printed Parts around all that, but not actually being the bearing / wear surfaces .

Threaded Inserts would be nice too from a Design for Disassembly standpoint (Either for Bearing Replacement, or for Deconstruction before recycling/burning the plastic, and recycling the bearings at Product End of Life etc

Let me go grab the link to that playlist.
