- 5/16" ID for Universal Axis - 3/4" long - [1] - $1.58. 0.09 cubic inch volume - bronze is 0.3 lb per cubic inch - so each bearing is 0.03 lb.
- 3D printing - 1/4 lb of bronze filamet is $45. For the above 3/4" bushings - only 8 can be printed - so about $6 each.
- If we reduce the length to 1/4" - we get down to $2 per bushing - still 4x as expensive as linear ball bearings.
