TPU Baseball - Triangle Mesh

Description

This is another wiffleball, with this one being my triangle mesh ball.  Designed in Fusion, this ball is another fun TPU ball to print and play with.  Easy to throw and catch, and durable enough to hit with any bat WHEN PRINTED IN TPU.

 

DO NOT PRINT IN PLA AND HIT IT WITH A BAT!  It will explode.  

 

I printed this in Overture High Speed TPU which can print faster, but this ball needs to be printed slowly for best quality.  The included profile has the speed capped at 40mms, but other types of TPU might need to be printed more slowly.  I also recommend you dry your TPU before printing.  I dry mine thoroughly with a Sunlu S4 dryer and print with the filament in the dryer.  Wet filament or printing too fast will likely result in scarring on the bottom of the ball.

Boost MeIf you love summer and baseball, throw a boost at this ball!  Thanks!

 

Support info:  The supports are a job to remove, I am not going to lie.  Care must be taken to remove them without damaging the ball.  I went slowly with a pliers and got them pulled free.
