Better Balls for Buckyball for Pets
I wanted to print the original ball in a multi-color Silk PLA but despite maximum cooling and lower layer heights, I couldn't avoid ugly overhangs.
This remix solves that by splitting the ball in half so each part can be printed upwards, and joins them with a press-fit ring so you don't even need glue :)
Additionally, I wanted the best possible looks for the top of the dome (a notorious problem for FDM prints) so I'm attaching my 3mf file which is configured to use:
- 0.12mm layer height
- Adaptive layer height for the domes, optimizing for quality over speed
- Concentric ironing with 0.12mm spacing
- 3 wall loops
- Slowed down wall speeds
- By object printing
If you have any issues or concerns, please leave a comment! I also recommend putting a few M3 nuts or similar into the ball for maximum cat attention :))
