Breakaway Rim Minihoop

The Breakaway Rim Minihoop is a meticulously designed 3D printable model that brings the excitement of a breakaway rim to miniature basketball hoops. This model offers versatility with two rim sizes, allowing users to choose between a 100mm or 150mm diameter rim based on their preference. Whether you're a basketball enthusiast looking for a fun indoor activity or a designer seeking to enhance your collection, this model provides an engaging and realistic Mini hoop experience.

The model consists of three main parts: the rim, rim base, and spring holder. The rim is designed to flex and snap back into place, mimicking the behavior of a full-sized breakaway rim. The rim bases come in two options, one suitable for the 100mm rim and the other for the 150mm rim. It's important to note that while the 100mm rim base can accommodate the larger rim, it may not offer the same level of strength when subjected to force, so it's recommended to use the 150mm rim base for optimal performance.

To enhance the experience further, optional components are provided. The net holder allows users to attach a net to the rim, adding a realistic touch to the Mini hoop. However, it's worth mentioning that the net holder may not withstand extremely forceful dunks, so securing the net with zip ties is recommended. Additionally, a backboard is included, specifically designed to complement the 100mm rim base.

For assembly, users will need six screws for mounting the rim and rim base. The mounting holes are 5mm in diameter. A long screw is required to hold the spring, which should be inserted into the designated 5mm hole on the rim. To connect the rim and rim base, a 3mm diameter steel rod is needed. You can repurpose a section of a metal hanger for this purpose, attaching it to the 3mm holes on the side of the rim and rim base.

Please note that the Breakaway Rim Minihoop model is an original creation, designed with careful attention to detail and functionality. It offers a fantastic opportunity for basketball enthusiasts to enjoy the thrill of a breakaway rim in a compact and printable form. So gather your friends, set up the mini hoop, and experience the excitement of dunks and rebounds with this innovative 3D-printed model.
