MINI BBALL HOOP MK3

November 15, 2018
Description
This is a mini basket ball hoop for slam dunk training.
Since my early test of 3D printed objects I experimented many ways how to make mini basketball hoops for my son
Two of these are available on my thinghiverse account: mini basketball hoop - MINI BBALL HOOP MK2
Unfortunately these proved to be brittle and even the mixed construction with metal parts of the second model inevitably has yielded to the repeated stresses of my son's dunks.
Therefore I tried creating a model that was mechanically designed to absorb the loads of the dunks who, in the meantime, have grown up like my son.
The result is a simple and essential object that owes its performance to the correct choice of the plastic filament used for the 3D printed parts combined with a spring that takes care of withstanding the extra stress.
