Squirtle (Japanese: ゼニガメ Zenigame) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves into Wartortle starting at level 16, which evolves into Blastoise starting at level 36. Along with Bulbasaur and Charmander, Squirtle is one of the three first partner Pokémon of Kanto available at the beginning of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen.

This is a custom poke ball inspired by Squirtle. I used the inner mechanism of MrFozzie's and made with Fusion 360 the top and bottom shells. All parts can be printed in one color and glued together, no AMS required

This pokeball is an improvement of MrFozzie's original work, the hinge mechanism has been simplified and optimized to be printed in place.

I have modified the inner and outer button to eliminate the overhangs so that it can be printed without supports.

The print profile is designed and tested for easy printing, the hinge has increased perimeters for greater strength, supports and seams are added by hand.

The outer parts have a variable layer height for a smooth finish.

Joined into one the two printing profiles that I usually make, choose one of the two hinges that you would like to use.

Two versions available NO AMS and AMS

Instructions for assembly:

Glue the top and bottom pieces to the hinge mechanism, the piece with a hole in the button mechanism will go on the top.

The button does not need to be glued, just insert it into the ring and glue to the outside of the ring and hinge.

Fully functional PokeBall made to be an exact replica of the real thing! Uses only 3D printed parts and super glue yet has fully functional hinge and button which presses in and unlocks a catch to allow you to open it, using the flex in the plastic to act as a spring. Hinge opens to 90 degrees and stops like the real thing and does not stick out the back so cannot be seen, also just like the real thing. The button also hides its own mechanism from view adding to the authenticity. Parts have notches and grooves to ensure perfect alignment while glueing allowing you to have a perfect model with ease.
