Description

I created another set of ball in ball fidgets for my cat which I would like to share. The print model contains two sizes of elastic balls, so you may try out which one your cat likes the most.

Please remove the support structure carefully and ensure all support structure really has been removed. The ball inside needs some push to make it lose.

Nice and easy print, but i had few isuess with PLA. When it printing last 20 layers, it started shifting and creating gap, weakness point. Thank you for the model :)

@maknx

Thanks for the photos. I will work on improving the model / print parameters.

@maknx

I uploaded an improved version and placed a link in the description of the original file.

Did the supports break during printing or afterward?

Replying to @maknx :

One stood crooked in the ball, another when removing the support

Replying to @user_3265449228 :

My apologies I have uploaded a second slightly stronger version The link is in the description Removing the supports is difficult and critical due to the small size of the ball Please carefully attempt removal using tweezers or small pliers

Excellent print and model, also functions as a first print to observe machine calibration

This Print required support to slice on the A1. After turning on auto support, the inside ball became a cube. I attempted clean the inside ball of support material and the weak outer structure broke. I would hate to see anybody's cat choke on the small fragments. This file might work if it was larger and the stucture was thicker. Not yet skilled enough to change the design myself. I thought the idea was cool.

@maknx

I tested the file (again) and tree support is enabled for slicing if I download it. The print itself worked fine for me several times and no one else complained. I used tweezers to remove the support and of course you have to be careful. Please take care and don´t use the file if you're worried about your cat.
