Description
This is our new airless basketball model designed for the amazing Fillamentum PEBA filament! This airless basketball filament has one of the best bounces we have tested, and also has amazing durability as well. Since the Kimya PEBA-S filament has been discontinued, I have been searching for a replacement, and although this filament is a bit more expensive, it actually bounces just slightly better than the Kimya, and prints nicely. You can also buy the filament in a lot of fun colors too. The Fiberology Fiberflex 30D has a better bounce, but with the Fillamentum PEBA you don’t have the dead spot/squishiness/longer print time issues like the Fiberflex has. Since I am now part of Fillamentum’s affiliate program, I can offer a 10% discount on the PEBA filament during checkout! Just enter the Coupon Code “Make20” before checking out, and the 10% discount will be applied. For full testing and information, be sure to check out our YouTube video here:
I have included the STL for just the file, along with the 3MF that includes the settings and supports that I used to print the basketball. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out, and thank you for the support!
