Design a parametric 3d-printable Slew Bearing with Fusion 360

This looks like a very interesting project that I thought others might be interested in.

It does look interesting. What might we use them for? I think he is clear enough with most of his instructions that I could make it (if he didn’t include the file somewhere)

It may not be very practical for much of anything.
I guess I’m just easily amused by functioning 3d printed mechanisms.

Maybe someone else will be amused or inspired as well.

FYI: a much simpler and maybe more practical 3d printed linear bearing:

FYI: for a bigger challenge here’s a 3d printed 600w brushless (BLDC) motor:

Uh … I get that (Mechanical Engineer here). We need to think of some things we can make with them… maybe some really smooth rolling drawers or something… or some toy for kids…
