About this print
The Open Ball V1 is a ball vise system intended for hobby and maker work. A ball vise is typically used to hold an item while allowing its working angle or orientation to be adjusted, making it relevant to tasks that benefit from flexible positioning. This model forms part of such a holding and support setup. PETG is a sensible printing material because its toughness is useful for a workshop accessory that may experience repeated adjustment and handling.

For Open Ball V1 (Ball vise system) we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm.
