If you like my stuff and got a Boost, why not toss it my way? Every bit I get

Sorry for the interruption; on to the Meat and Potatoes!

This Strange Ball was created as part of #ProjectKurt project using the Editable Poké Ball model (listed as a remix here), based off of the in-game model from Pokemon Legends: Arceus. It’s part of an ongoing series of Poké Balls adapted from the main series of games, but if you want to see what custom designs others have made, you can check out both in the links below!

If you are using a multicolor printer, print the models/plates with (AMS) in the title, but NOT the ones with (SingleExtruder) in the title. If not, do the opposite.

I’ve included the little border around the Top and Bottom to better reflect the in-game art, but know that it’s very fragile. The pictured ball was indeed created with the single-extruder version, but if you have the ability to print both colors at once, I recommend it. If you can’t, you can always use the AMS version, but just change the border to be the same color as the rest of it, effectively making a single-color version. 

Check the PDF for written assembly instructions with pictures. The 3mf was made using the .step file for the project, so it has a higher resolution than the STLs themselves.

Informational video on Strange Balls also included, as well as a video on the project, how you can make your own custom ball design, and printing/construction instruction in the long form vid below (timestamps included in the description).
