Pickleball!! I had to combine my pickleball and 3D printing hobby.

V2 - (2024_03_07)

Much better supports, easier to clean up. A little thicker, more durable. Redid holes to match my real indoor pickleball.

V1 - (2024_03_06)

A bit of cleanup for the supports required, but once cleared works great - need to work on a custom support.

Printed in PLA and it bounces a little too much. With TPU 95, might be perfect.

USAPA reqs:

Possess a diameter that is between 2.874 inches (7.30cm) to 2.972 inches (7.55cm) GOOD
Possess a circumference that is between 9.029 inches (22.93cm) and 9.337 inches (23.72cm) GOOD
Be uniformly colored GOOD (depends on filament)
Have between 26 to 40 holes GOODish (minus all the ‘Airless holes’)
Register between 40 and 50 on the Durometer D scale of hardness when tested at an ambient temperature of 70°F (plus or minus 5°F) ??? (PLA probably much too hard)
Exhibit a bounce between 30-34 inches (76.20cm - 86.36cm) when dropped from a height of 78 inches (198.12cm) at an ambient temperature of 70°F (plus or minus 5°F) PLA - a little over 40 inches
weigh between 0.78oz (22.11g) and 0.935oz (26.51g) GOOD

Trying out a design for PLA to get in the right bounce range (stay in correct weight), and will be trying a TPU with current design.
