Great Ball & Master Ball Now Available + Original Ball Update
🕑 Added 2022-04-30 20:15:05 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
The files for the Original Great Ball & Master Ball are here at last! As with the Heavy Ball, these are variations of the Original Pokeball and use the same parts except for the top piece. They also still fully snap together with no glue needed!
I have to say, I almost caved in and decided to make the some of the accent features just glue into place, but after some thought and playing around in Fusion I was finally able to get everything to snap together. I've tested them on a couple different printers and everything seems to fit very well on my end. As always, I will very much appreciate any and all feedback from you that may help me improve the design.
Speaking of improvements, I've uploaded a new and improved version of the inner rings that should be both stronger and have more clearance for anyone that may have been having issues. The inner shaft in the hinge is about twice as thick as in the original, so it should be nice and strong.
I've also got the first test pieces for the Ultra Ball on the printer now, so I should have that one finished up very soon (as long as the snap features don't give me too much hassle, that is).
As always, thank you very much for the support!

You can use it with the inserts just as you would with the Original!

Can't wait to print. So is it advised not to use the master ball for switch/ds games?

Yeah you can use all original parts, the new hinge is just stronger and has more clearance in case you were having issues previously!

That's awesome! Will these work unmodified with the original middle rings you released? Or do we have to reprint everything? (Edit: sorry I just saw the whole post I think that answers my question? :) )
