Fold-a-Ball LIGHT - A foldable ball that fits in your pocket
bylogicalplanetThis is a LIGHT version of 2.5" fold-a-ball. It has one less inner core making the entire ball lighter. This is a ball that folds up and fits in your pocket. It is a fun and entertaining general purpose tennis ball sized folding ball.
It is a print-in-place 1-piece ball that folds into a 12mm thick disc. It can be deployed and collapsed quickly and easily. 100% printed - no hardware, fasteners, or adhesives required. No support is required.
Please note that if you want a more durable ball, see my other version... https://than.gs/m/1172663
Your material selection and slicer settings will determine how durable and strong the printed ball is. I recommend a durable and flexible material like PETG or something stronger. You will want to print with a minimum of 4 walls and 100% infill.
Safety Note: As with any plastic toy, please supervise children and pets while they’re playing with it! While the ball is durable, it’s still 3D-printed, and material could break off.
Free for a limited time. Please collect it, like it and download it now to help support me in the league competitions. Thank you.
