Description

After printing a basketball, I wanted to print a football but couldn't find a model that I loved, so I designed my own and it turned out AWESOME! 

 

In the print profile there are three sizes, “Full Size” which is a regulation Pee Wee size (still big) and a “Fun Size” which is definitely the better size for throwing around IMO, and a small size which might be best for smaller hands. 

 

The balls only use ~250 grams of filament.

 

WARNING: When printed with anything but flexible filaments like TPU, the ball is rock solid and hurts to throw so please be careful. 

 

I have printed three so far. 

  • Black and white, full size, printed in PETG: Definitely too hard for throwing but makes for an awesome display and is fun to just spin around in the hand. This one sits on my desk.
  • Orange, fun size, printed in BIQU PLA-HR: It is fairly flexible and is the perfect size. Super durable, great for throwing but still a little hard.
  • Black, small size, printed in TPU: TPU is the best filament and is noticeably more comfortable for throwing and playing with. I prefer the fun size but this is still a great size. 

 

Display Feet

These are too cool not to display so I have included display stands. They are two simple feet that fit into specific holes perfect for displaying. They are designed to fit in the exact holes in the image below. One of the stand feet is labeled L and the other R. This indicates which side of the ball they are for when looking from the front. So when looking from behind, the L foot will be on the right and vice versa. The L and R should be oriented right side up to allow the flat part of the foot to rest flat on the table. If it doesn't lay flat, you just need to rotate them until they do. And double check they are in the right holes or they wont quite sit flat.
