Description

This 73mm, 32-sided satisfyingly squishy ball (truncated icosahedron if ya want to be technical) was designed to be printed with TPU 95A.  I was aiming for that Goldilocks level of squish…not too firm, not too floppy, but just right. It has custom built-in support that also doubles as a nifty stand once removed, so you can have it on display when you’re not giving it a satisfying squeeze. Whether you need a trusty stress ball, a fidget toy, or just something fun to toss around, the Satisfying Squishy Ball is ready for action.

 

Please use my print profile.  This model relies on certain settings/modifiers for the best results.

 

Note:  TPU can be quite difficult to remove from the textured PEI build plate.  If you have trouble, put the print/plate in the freezer for 5-10 mins, this will make the TPU temporarily more rigid.  Now flex the plate in each direction and it should release MUCH easier.

As always, clean your build plate and dry/calibrate your filament for optimal results.

 

Happy printing, enjoy!
