Files are provided for 30mm, 40mm, and 50mm diameter balls. You will need to print two pieces to make one ball. When printed with a 0.5mm nozzle, the balls require 3g, 5.4g, 8.4g of filament. That means 1kg of filament you could make approximately 333 small Ice Balls!
Here are some recommendations for spiralized printing:
- Use thick layer heights, 0.2mm or greater
- Set your “Bottom Layer” to 1
- Try using a skirt for bed adhesion, but if that is not working then try a brim. You will just have to remove the brim afterwards
- If you get funny stringing on the top layer, try moving the z-seam alignment around

It is recommended to use thick layer heights of 0.2mm or greater for spiralized printing. Customize your settings to a 'Bottom Layer' of 1. For bed adhesion, you may use a skirt, but a brim can be adopted if the skirt proves ineffective, with the brim being removable afterwards. If you encounter stringing on the top layer, try adjusting the z-seam alignment for better results. Utilize these unique 3D models to bring a cool aesthetic to your home and garden décor. Check the images to have a better understanding of the final product and achieve the best-printed output for these unique Ice Ball designs.
