Fascia Ball Duo

Fascia Duoball (Peanut Ball) – Targeted Regeneration

This 3D-printed fascia duoball (also called a "peanut ball") is the ideal tool for self-massage and regeneration after sports or a long day at the desk. Its characteristic shape with the indentation in the middle makes it perfect for massaging parallel muscle strands (e.g., along the spine) without applying direct pressure to the bones.

Advantages & Application

• Targeted Massage: Ideal for back, neck, calves, and arms.
• Protects the Spine: The central indentation spares the vertebral spinous processes.
• Trigger Point Therapy: Helps release stubborn tension and adhesions in the fascia.

My Print Settings & Experiences

Since the contact surface on the print bed is very small due to the design, my first print detached from the plate at about 75% progress. For a successful second attempt, I chose the following settings:

• Print Bed Adhesion: Be sure to use a Brim (Brim type: Outer brim only) with a width of 15 mm. This gives the ball the necessary stability towards the end of the print.
• Stability: Printed from PLA with 5 wall lines (4 would probably also be sufficient) and 15% infill.
• Nozzle: I used a 0.6 mm nozzle. This ensures very good stability and significantly reduces print time.

Optimization Suggestions from the Community?

If you have any suggestions for improvement or even better print settings (e.g., for TPU or variable layer heights), please feel free to write them in the comments! I look forward to your feedback.

And now, I wish you much enjoyment relaxing! ;-)
