So we settled on bearings with 8mm OD & 5mm ID, when Ben switched to M5 rod, but people on Thingiverse are having trouble finding those.
Could we point them to a good source of the right bearings?
In the mean time, I'm going to try to visit a hardware store today and look for common alternatives, as discussed previously.

Found some on McMasterCarr... But they are eye-wateringly expensive,
$6-$7 a pop.

Found some more on vxb.com at half that, about $3 a pop.

Oh, or a pack of ten for $14.95, so $1.50 a pop... Still at vxb.com
