A simple clean ball/sphere that's fun to print and assemble. No supports are required, and this print will assemble without using any adhesives or glue.
This ball has a diameter of 80mm. Each hemisphere is identical and symmetrical.
You can probably print the hemispheres with 15% or 20% infill, but for best results, print the center screw with 100% infill. Also a brim on the bottom of the screw seems to help create a cleaner print.
When assembling, be careful not to torque or over tighten the screw in the center. The screw will snap and break if you continue twist the two halves (remember that the screw piece is plastic and will break when too much force is applied).
The model in the photos were printed on my MK3S+ using the following materials/settings:
- Red/White Hatchbox ABS (stock Prusaslicer Settings)
- 0.4mm stock nozzle
- 0.2mm layer height (quality mode)
- 100% Infill (for hemispheres and screw)
- No supports
- Brim on pieces
- Textured PEI sheet
