GEN 12: please see my profile for the GEN 12 ball. There&#39;s a limit of 500mb on one page so I had to make another for the latest Gen. It bounces really well and feels super durable in TPC I wasn&#39;t satisfied with the current models of the airless basketball on here as they only had a single lattice. This took me days make sure the double lattice worked in CAD - SolidWorks was not built for this! As I don&#39;t have $2,500 to spare, I worked from the images available online.I printed it in TPU. It doesn&#39;t bounce as much as a standard basketball in TPU so I suggest a stiffer material.&nbsp;GEN 9: I have added a gen 9 version. It is a little closer to the original and should weigh about the right amount when printed in TPU/PLA&nbsp;GEN 10: I have adjusted the size of the hex holes and increased the filled on them. I&#39;ve also increased the lattice thickness to 8mm to hopefully increase bounce. The logo on the top and the airless gen 10 tag have also increased in size a little to improve how they look. Lastly, the holes around the seam are now pentagons as in the original ball&nbsp;GEN 11: I have added a new version with cut-outs throughout the seams. This will hopefully make the bounce more consistent.&nbsp;The original version I uploaded was removed due to “abnormal download data”. MakerWorld support took all my points but said I could re-upload so here it is again. Hopefully that won&#39;t happen again. MATERIALS:Extrudr Hard TPU (58D) - good durability about 40% bounceOverture Super PLA+ - 100% bounce but broke easilyOverture easy nylon (PA6) - broke almost instantly (the community have suggested “annealing” the print in water to increase durability)BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse TPU 64D - good durability and 60% bounce (BEST SO FAR)BASF Ultrafuse TPC 45D - good durability and great bounce. I recommend annealing this one at 110°C for 10 hours at least.
