At least flanged bearings have no runout, unlike the toothed idlers I just installed (from RobotDigg). One was completely unusable, the other three had noticeable runout. It's clear that the central hole (that the bearings fit into) is drilled in a separate process to the one that makes the idler itself, and it wasn't lined up as well as it should have been.

*sigh*

I've printed mine to fit 10mm OD bearings. The .stl-file is here

I couldn't say whether this was the issue with the ones I had but I've sold the machine so can't find out now, guy who bought it left me pretty good feedback.
