I modeled it from zero, taking inspiration from the original and making modifications that I considered pertinent.The diameter is 23 cm you can scale it if you wish.&nbsp;The best rebound results have been with PEBA-S Kimya as you can see in the gif in this post. Also you can test it with PLA Flex, it bounces more than TPU My Other Airless Models:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/141676" rel="nofollow noopener">AIRLESS BASKETBALL V2</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/223516" rel="nofollow noopener">AIRLESS AMERICAN FOOTBALL</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/208034" rel="nofollow noopener">Soccer Football Airless Ball</a></li></ul>&nbsp;<h2>SUGGESTED MATERIALS: I&#39;ve seen many impressions of my Airless Ball&#39;s prototype and I can list the filaments with the best results in rebound and resistance, according to personal tests and feedback shared by the community:  </h2><ol><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.kimya.fr/en/product/3d-peba-s-filament-kimya/" rel="nofollow noopener">KIMYA PEBA-S</a> (personally tested) <img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000141620/design/2024-06-21_e9475b9e75071.gif">  </li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://ataraxiaart.com/?product=ataraxia-art-flexible-pla-filament-1-75mm-3d-printer-filament-1kg-spoolbetter-than-tpu89a-shore-hardnesspatent-formulacompatible-with-bowden-extruderwith-filament-storage-bag-fpla-slate-gray" rel="nofollow noopener">ATARAXIA ART</a> Flexible PLA  <img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000141620/design/2024-03-05_a5f624f4dcfe3.gif">  </li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.sainsmart.com/products/gt-3-flexible-pla-filament" rel="nofollow noopener">SaintSmart GT-3 High Flowability Flexible PLA Filament</a> <img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000141620/design/2024-03-02_61bab51abbecc.webp">   </li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://spectrumfilaments.com/en/filament-types/pla-en/" rel="nofollow noopener">Spectrum PLA </a> (not bounce) <img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000141620/design/2024-06-14_349034595e92e.png">  </li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://spool3d.ca/flexible-pla-1-75mm-3d-printer-filament/" rel="nofollow noopener">Spool3DCA PLA Flex</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://spool3d.ca/flexible-pla-1-75mm-3d-printer-filament/" rel="nofollow noopener"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000141620/design/2024-03-02_8be1955631815.gif"></a>  </li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://overture3d.com/collections/overture-super-pla" rel="nofollow noopener">Super PLA + Overture</a> Super PLA+ by Overture excels in printing smaller ball versions, avoiding fracture risks.
