I made 3 ball retrievers a few years ago for my (part-time) tennis coach using PLA. After 2 years, they are still working fine, but he's asked me to make a few more as commercial ones cost a LOT.

Fits a standard 75mm PVC drain pipe. Fit is snug, but I also use a bit of PVC glue to make sure. 

I printed a set in PLA and another in PETG. 

25% infil, 0.3mm layer height, 3 walls and 1.2mm top/bottom thickness. Probably overkill, but if the formula works…
