The prompt

Simple spin-only 3D-printed bar lathe for marking: one 24 mm DC motor drives a 608-bearing spindle through a 2:1 gear stage; a 3-screw chuck clamps round bar up to 8 mm; a tailstock with an M8 threaded-rod centre supports the far end for up to 200 mm of bar; two sliding roller rests (pairs of 608 bearings in a V) keep the bar level and true along its length; a long marking ledge with a 10 mm scale sits beside the bar so you can mark it and then take it to an external saw
