Description

Don't we all love the 3d printed airless basketball?

Even though there are already a few decent models out there, none had both the correct shape and the correct logos. I decided to just go ahead and add the correct logos and inscriptions to this existing one.

I initially only printed it myself on an industrial SLS system (to get the same quality and finish as the original one), but decided to try to print one on my bambu as well. You will have to somewhat sacrifice the logo on the bottom.

Logo's/text:

-AIRLESS GEN1

-W (Wilson logo)

-No 06 of 50 (based on the brown version)

Thanks for sharing, How has the One you printed on the SLA PA12 Holding up? How is the bounce? I have one on it's way with PA12 and PA11.

very well. SLS just doesn’t break. I did not print it full scale though. I own an EOS P110, so it can only print 20x25x33cm

Replying to @vanbluca :

You own an EOS SLS 3D Printer? Wow, I thought only Corporations where capable of owning such hardware. I have access to EOS with Large build area so I can print the full sized ball in either PA12 or PA11. Thanks for letting me know that Nylon Printed on SLS wont break. I have seen a few Printed on FDM with PA6 and PA12 that break, but likely bad layer adhesion, something SLS just will not have issues with.

My 60% double latice model broke on the first bounce, On the thinnest part of the double latice.. I will order Another sample with TPU90A (EOS SLS)
