Description:

Creates a model of a ball bearing assembly.

Arguments:

By Position What it does
trade_size String name of a standard ball bearing trade size. ie: "608", "6902ZZ", or "R8"
id Inner diameter of ball bearing assembly.
od Outer diameter of ball bearing assembly.
width Width of ball bearing assembly.
shield Does the ball bearing assembly have a shield.
flange Does the ball bearing assembly have a flange.
fd Diameter of the flange (only used if flange=true).
fw Width of the flange (only used if flange=true).
anchor Translate so anchor point is at origin (0,0,0). See anchor. Default: CENTER
spin Rotate this many degrees around the Z axis after anchor. See spin. Default: 0
orient Vector to rotate top towards, after spin. See orient. Default: UP
