Praxix BB option for PF30 for Shimano Crank...

Here you go OP.

Since so many struggle with proper setup and maintenance of BB30 and PF30, an enterprising company has come up with what I believe the best solution for those in particular who aren't real keen on setting up BB/PF30 as intended...or maintaining it. Obviously the engineers at Praxis felt this pain and responded. Demand meet supply. I believe these BB's will be wildly popular. OP because the BB is an expanding collet, I also believe it will shore up any added tolerance you have if your wear is frame based version abrasion to your press in Delrin cups. $85 and includes integrated bearings and looks to be installable in 20 minutes. Shimano crank is plug and play...no spacers which are needed with traditional BB/PF30 with Shimano 24mm crank O.D. Pretty nice solution for Shimano crank lovers who have BB/PF30 framesets who don't want to mess with gluing in bearings and/or bushings.

So you have another option if you want to deviate from design intent and a lot easier for the average home mechanic or bike shop to get it right:
