Inspired by @Clough42, I printed wheel balancer where I used ceramic bearings. Reason was that just like @Clough42, I was not either happy to the propeller balancer sensitivity. I was comparing previously propeller balancer to the magnetic balancer, which was way much more sensitive than propeller balancer, but it could not carry the weight of larger / heavier wheels.
Printed balancer is not exactly the same design as @Clough42 made, but very close to same. Ceramic bearings I used are not either same as he used.
Surprisingly I got opposite results compared to the @Clough42 results. In my test, propeller balancer which I wasn’t happy earlier had better sensitivity than printed one with ceramic bearings. I don’t think the problem is in the print. Bearings can be less sensitive, but I think the balancing shaft diameter and total weight of the wheel and shaft affects more. The balancer shaft I used is not either very high quality.
