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 all the 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 various filaments to see which of them make the very best airless basketballs. You possibly can comply with our latest testing on our YouTube channel right here: https://www.youtube.com/@makeitlabchannel. I may also use this as a challenge web page to submit probably the most up-to-date data for every filament/profile.

For all the filaments I’m going by 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 record the filament bounce score, value in comparison with different filaments, ease of printing, and different data beneath, and I’ll rank them so as by the very best on the high adopted by the decrease performing on the backside:

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

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

#2 filament – Wisdream FlexiTough:
• Bounce score: 4/5
• Price: $$ 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
• Printing/testing video: https://youtu.be/3udtzdDm51c

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

#3 filament – DudV2 PLA-B:
• Bounce score: 4/5
• Price: $$ 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 less complicated 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
• Price: $ cheaper than the remaining
• Printability: pretty straightforward
• Printing profile/STL on this web page? Added on 7/17/2024.
• Hyperlink to buy the filament: https://amzn.to/4fPbCAj
• Printing/testing video: https://youtu.be/L7AP0ahJMyo

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

I’ll add extra data to this web page as my testing continues. In the event you print one in all these basketballs, I might like to see them!
