Free STL file Airless Basketball – Double Lattice

These fashions/information are for making airless basketballs out of both the Wisdream FlexiTough or DudV2 PLA-B filament. I couldn’t add the entire STLs/information to this web page as a result of the file sizes are too giant. If you need the STLs/printing profiles for the PEBA filament or Ataraxia Artwork Versatile PLA (FPLA), go to our different web page right here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/numerous/airless-basketball-models-double-lattice-bounces-great

I’ve been testing many alternative filaments to see which of them make the perfect airless basketballs. You may comply with our newest testing on our YouTube channel right here: https://www.youtube.com/@makeitlabchannel. I may also use this as a mission web page to put up probably the most up-to-date information for every filament/profile.

For the entire filaments I am going via beneath, I extremely suggest a filament dryer (I exploit this one: https://youtu.be/L7AP0ahJMyo) and a printer mattress glue stick for each mattress adhesion and as a launch agent when the basketball is finished printing: https://amzn.to/3ALWcxK. I’ll listing the filament bounce score, value in comparison with different filaments, ease of printing, and different info beneath, and I’ll rank them so as by the perfect on the high adopted by the decrease performing on the backside:

#1 filament – PEBA Filament:
• Bounce score: 5/5 (the perfect bounce by far that I’ve examined).
• Value: $$$ Costly (should purchase two 500g rolls for a full-sized ball.
• Printability: reasonable – will need to have a nozzle temp of 250C and mattress temp of 90C.

Feedback: this filament is by far the perfect filament I’ve examined for making airless basketballs, however it’s by far the costliest as nicely. See our settings/setup video right here: https://youtu.be/BtqjUwdIx30

#2 filament – Wisdream FlexiTough:
• Bounce score: 4/5
• Value: $$ considerably costly
• Printability: pretty straightforward
• Printing profile/STL on this web page? Added on 11/17/2024.
• Hyperlink to buy the filament: https://amzn.to/4fNdF7Q

Feedback: Whereas not as bouncy because the PEBA filament, it is a fairly easy-to-print filament that’s pretty reasonably priced and gives a superb bounce.

#3 filament – DudV2 PLA-B:
• Bounce score: 4/5
• Value: $$ considerably costly
• Printability: pretty straightforward
• Printing profile/STL on this web page? Added on 11/17/2024.
• Hyperlink to buy the filament: https://dudv2.com/merchandise/pla-b-splat
• Printing/testing video: https://youtu.be/3udtzdDm51c

Feedback: This filament has the identical quantity of bounce and easier printing because the Wisdream FlexiTough, however the delivery tends to be slower and it by no means actually appears to be in inventory, so I rated it decrease than the Wisdream.

#4 filament – Ataraxia Artwork Versatile PLA (FPLA):
• Bounce score: 3/5
• Value: $ cheaper than the remainder

Feedback: This filament is the most cost effective I’ve discovered that makes first rate performing airless basketballs. The bounce isn’t as nice as the remainder, however the price for a full basketball is about $21 after printing, so the price is difficult to beat.

I’ll add extra info to this web page as my testing continues. In case you print one in all these basketballs, I’d like to see them!
