About this print
A table tennis ball designed without a hollow, air-filled interior, intended to behave similarly to a standard ping pong ball during recreational play. The design is compatible with normal table tennis equipment and appeals to hobbyists interested in printed sporting accessories. PETG is recommended for this model as it offers greater impact resistance and flexibility than standard PLA, which can crack under repeated impact.

This is the 2.0 version:
Now with more bounce, stronger, thicker, more fun!
Prints without supports for easier post processing. Print with a 5mm brim, 10mm if you have adhesion issues.
For best results, print in PETG, or a tough PLA! ABS also holds up well. Regular PLA tends to crack easily, try a FPLA instead if you have access.
Brim IS necessary. If you are having adhesion issues, clean build plate with alcohol and increase brim to 10mm.
Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.
