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!

It works but very, very, very bad support and could not take it off

Support Issue:the support got stuck to it and it was hard to take off

@dennisdemont

Same here, it actually printed really nice but I struggled to get the support off and ended up tearing the ball.

exactly what happened to me

I had the same issue other people mentioned here, if I slice this model from my laptop the supports are competed fused to the ball including the infil but if I slice it from the app it prints perfectly!

@goochball

Interesting, any idea how that could happen? I appreciate the feedback.

(Edited)

@Th3_B0sS

not sure how that happened cause I did it directly from the app and it couldn’t come off

@user_244095191

Very nice print, came right off the support with no issues. Printed with glow in the dark tpu for night-time shenanigans. Can't wait to toss it around the office. Keep up the good work!

first ball i printed in tpu on the p2s but the print went really well, the only thing was the support removal left some marks but that’s fine by me

@3dIsExistent

Quick question for the creator - what might get rid of this issue? This was printed in tpu 90a. Its occurring at the support spot but the supports printed perfectly. I used settings that acted perfect in the past + I just dried my filament for hours and I printed two and ended up with almost exactly the same issue on both.

The designer has replied

@goochball

I’ve only tested with TPU95a. The softer TPU90a just might not work well with this particular design, it’s hard to say. Did you print it quite slow? I have a theory that if you print it too slow the layers could cool down too quickly and not bond well with each other, causing layer separation. I haven’t had success reproducing this issue on my end, so it’s a challenge to test. Sorry it didn’t turn out, my friend.

Replying to @goochball :

I printed it at 25mm/s and so i decided to remove the custom support for the ball in meshmixer and just add my own tree supports. Who knows maybe that will work. Thank you :)
