UPDATE 1

• Increased length of the slide on the center piece
• Reshaped & curved the connectors to improve smoothness

UPDATE 2

• Corrected “slice to slice” connector cuts
• Introduced base supports
  • These are not actually for overhangs, they are to help the model hold still during printing
• Increased speed on adaptive layer scale to reduce print time & filament waste

UPDATE 3

• Altered support settings to increase stability
• Moved Support far enough way for a brim to print too
• Increased size from 125% to 130%

UPDATE 4

• Introduced better “EZ MODE” profile
• Includes thin, tiny, connectors that print at layer 58 & 190
• This drastically improves stability during printing & reduces the chance of the toolhead knocking over the print
• YOU WILL NEED TO USE (minimal) force to push the slices to break supporting connectors
  • I then recommend scraping them off the remains with something like a pocket knife

UPDATE 5

• Corrected an issue where a layer was printing with a fused connector on the EZ Mode profiles
  • Rotated the center-out connectors 1.66° on both profiles

I added a little bit of spiral to my APPLE! Octagon Fidget & turned it into a soccer ball.

You can expect more balls in the future. 🖤🦊

Notes:

• Prints using a brim. I strongly suggest you keep it
• Painting is done via modifiers. DO NOT manually paint. It WILL NOT go well.
• Purging between black & white costs a lot of filament
  • Consider adding a flush object/fidget (or a couple balls as flushes)
• I have NOT printed this smaller than the profile sizes (125%)
  • If you're brave enough to try, let me know how it turns out!
