Original Ultra Ball Now Available!
🕑 Added 2022-05-04 01:12:36 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
I've finished testing the Original Ultra Ball and it is now available in the archives! As with all the other pieces and variations to this design, it all snaps together with no glue required.
Just like with the Heavy, Master, and Great Balls, this design uses all the same pieces as the Original Pokeball. You only print the Ultra Ball Top Shell in black (or dark grey) instead of the standard red one, and then the additional yellow accent pieces (3 pieces).
Here is a link to the files if you would like to print it:

One tip for getting easier snaps if its a little tight; try adjusting Horizontal Expansion (Cura) or XY Compensation (PrusaSlicer) to -.05mm to - 0.1mm. What this setting does is opens up the gaps by the value you set it to. The negative value opens up gaps (makes things 'looser'), if you use a positive value it closes up gaps (makes things tighter).
I've tested these on a few different printers and have it to the level where the snaps are tight enough to not come apart, but fairly tight to snap together so I welcome any and all feedback!
As always, thank you all very much for the support!

Hi Anthony. Are you on the Discord server? If you are, can you send a photo there so I can see what you're talking about?

I'm having an issue with a 'ridge' in the middle of the left and right pieces and can't figure out why. Any suggestions? I know this is an older post but I really enjoy making these.

Hey Keith, does it feel like the hingers are able to move freely? Could you post a photo in the Discord, or shoot me a message on Instagram with a photo?
Keith
What would the fix be to try if the inner ring has a gap when closing?
