Another version of my twist-style “slimy” ball fidget toy. This time in a spiky version.

This is a true print-in-place model: no supports, no brim - just print it and enjoy. 

 

Please note

 

Since the spikes are relatively fine details, it is possible that a few of them may fuse together at the cutting points of the individual elements at the tips. If this happens, simply take a scalpel and carefully (!) cut them apart at these points. 

 

Scaling

 

In my provided profile the ball is set to 65% (i originally modeled it as a 100mm sphere in Fusion 360) . This is how i printed it and this is how it works perfectly.

 

Making it bigger should be no problem. I also tried making it much smaller. That did not work. If it´s too small, the segments don't have enough material to hold onto each other and the whole ball falls apart. So regarding downsizing there is a threshold until it stops working. Please be aware if you try to make the model smaller. In my opinion the size in the profile is the perfect size anyways.

 

For best results, print it in PLA or PETG. 

 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! If you like my model i would be very happy about a like, a 5 Star rating and / or a boost. Thank you very much!
