We decided to 3D-print an “airless” basketball out of PEBA filament. Out of all the filaments we have tried, this PEBA filament made the best-performing airless basketball that we have made yet. Shoutout to all of the subscribers who recommended the PEBA filament. We will be focusing on more flexible filament in the near future, so be sure to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss out on any future videos!

What should we try next?
Here is an idea, take this ball to a local playground and let some kids play basketball with it to see if it survives 😅
Next, cf tpu or 99a tpu for sure :) but they don't have the same energy return rate as peba, though it will still be interesting to see if they work.
@@riba2233 yeah I doubt anything will really beat PEBA but worth a try, and a durability test is definitely needed as well 😁
@@makeitlabchannel yeah :)

@@kirkofrmdawoodz3040 just ordered some so you got it!
I read on Reddit that PEBA is the closest material to the original airless basketball. I ordered a roll for a hefty price tag of $57 for 500 grams. Then I went ahead to print the ball. At about 25% mark the edges started to get caught in the extruder. Need to start over. 😤
Oh no! Hope the next one prints well
You’re welcome for the suggestion and THANK YOU for printing it!!!
😁
Fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 thank you Soo much for doing these tests helps alot
They were fun - glad it helped!
You are awesome man thank you for sharing this! Can’t wait to make my very own
No problem, thanks for recommending PEBA!
Crazy how well it bounces!
Right?!
Finally. Great stuff, really happy to see this find.
Appreciate it 🙂
Most practical bambu user's print
You rock!! Please keep us up to date or DURABILITY. Thx.
Much appreciated, and will do!
How durable does it feel? Like what do you think it would take to break it?
@@ScaleToTheWire if feels very durable, but since I aligned the z-seam during print on accident instead of random I think there might be a weak spot on it. It hasn't cracked yet, but I bet a few 3 pointers will probably crack it. Will keep you posted!
Great job men
Thanks!
This is awesome! I am curious how much of a beating it could take. Also would be nice to know if tree supports would be easier to remove.
Thanks! I plan on doing a durability test but it has held up well so far. Tree supports is what I used but I heard slim tree option would be easier to remove
This is ungroundbreaking in a truly amazing way, will you please go more in depth with your print process that gave you the best results with this filament, I plan on ordering a roll myself very soon, my mind was blown when I randomly came across this late last night, thank you!
I plan on making another video that includes print settings and everything I did to make the ball, so you got it!
@@makeitlabchannel I just ordered 2 rolls and am also curious on your settings. I had one good roll of flashforge flexible that made a good basketball that bounced well but eventually broke on one panel but every other roll has been completely different and an absolute nightmare.
@@AlexMccawley oh yikes, I am actually releasing a video later today that goes over the settings and setup I used for the PEBA ball, but I would be happy to give you the main settings if you need to start sooner
@makeitlabchannel I won't get the rolls in until next week. Can't wait to watch the video!
@@AlexMccawley just posted it 😁
Hey where’d u get your filament from I looked up Peba filament and it just shows tpu and plc
Hey there, I bought the PEBA filament here: indicatetechnologies.com/products/kimya-peba-s?_pos=59&_fid=7f47f9c39&_ss=c
The link you shared on the website is for a 500g spool. Did you need multiple spools and used the AMS to switch to the second spool? Or did you use another material for the support?
Hey there, yes I ended up purchasing 2 spools because it used 665 grams of filament. I also would not use the AMS either because I tried it and it got stuck, so I used the external spool holder. When the first roll was running out, I ran the beginning of the second spool along with the end of the first until the printer caught the second roll (if that makes sense) so I didn't have to pause the print
Hey what model and settings did you use to print this and what is the best filament to use to print he airless basketball, it would be helpful and if you reply thanks
Hey there, I made a video explaining all of the settings and filament used here: czcams.com/video/BtqjUwdIx30/video.htmlsi=NyiJj-enTr5ChAQT
I used PEBA filament (link is in the description), but the main settings were 250C nozzle temp, 100C bed temp, 40 mm/s speed, 3 walls, 50% gyroid infill, random Z-seam, and I used tree supports but I had to block the supports at the top and "paint" them on the bottom. I explain it in a lot more detail on the video. Let me know if you have any more questions 😁
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
😁
Worth mentioning they only sell it in 500g rolls for about 63$ shipped and you used a bit over 600g. I think Im going to try it with 25% infill because I have 1 roll.
Yes, I should have included that in the video but I will add it to the description and I have a video coming out that mentions that. Hope yours prints well!
That's great! What was the infill %?
Thanks! It was 50% gyroid infill 😁
Two points how much filament did this take to print and with how light it is you could easily add another layer to the thickness to get more bounce and durability
Yeah I will be printing another one so I will try to add some thickness to it, good call. It took 665 grams total to print 😁
Where did you order your filament?
@@justinwehland it was from a company called Indicate Technologies: indicatetechnologies.com/products/kimya-peba-s?_pos=59&_fid=7f47f9c39&_ss=c
How hard is the material to print? I tried printing flex pla and I can't get it to stop jamming
It didn't seem to hard to print, I just followed the recommended settings and it turned out pretty well. The only problem is you have to print it pretty slow so it takes a bit to finish
How much filament was used?
Needed about 665 grams of filament total (including supports)
Does printing PEBA release any harmful fumes? Like would it be ok if I printed it in my bedroom like my PLA, PETG AND TPU?
On the website it states "low fumes release," so I am guessing it would not be anything worse than printing something like TPU. I had a HEPA air purifier next to my printer just in case though, and that is what I would recommend too
@@makeitlabchannel I might have to give a try then. I printed a 25% basketball a few weeks ago overture super pla + and it bounced pretty well but eventually broke after a few days so I might have to give PEBA a try. Though I did print a airless ping pong ball out of the super pla + and its still going strong
@@Tacomaster-lq2ik yeah I saw Uncle Jesse's video where he made a small one out of super pla+ but he coated it in 3d gloop and it bounced great. I would also recommend using flex PLA by Ataraxia, and it is cheaper than PEBA although it doesn't perform quite as well
Hi,
as I'm also using a Bambu printer I would like to ask you for the print files (as you stated in your post, that you had some special? support paintings?). I would also like the custom PEBA settings. Would you mind sharing it?
Hey there, if you email me at makeitlabchannel@gmail.com I can share the 3mf file and all the settings. Thanks!
have you tried the Fiberlogy NYLON PA12 yet? it claims to be flexible..
Not yet, but I will look into it!
What 3d printer do you use?
Bambu Lab P1S 😁
Thank you sir 🙏
How does it spin when u take a shot?
Pretty well, it feels and acts very similar to a regular ball but it is lighter so I have to send it lighter than I usually do
Those who want him to take a hammer to the ball and do other durability tests… 👇
Please, do a height drop test. Drop it from 5,10,15,30 feet.
@@ScaleToTheWire haha, just let me go rent a helicopter real quick lol
@@makeitlabchannel hahaha, rent a construction lift.
Hook shot 3 pointers at the backboard as hard as you can XD
@@ScaleToTheWire 😆
how did you not take it to a basketball court!?
Also, your cadence is like a nervous kid reading a book report. It's kind of hard to listen to
I can always take it to a court for an update, and yeah I am horrible with the voiceovers lol I will try and work on that
@@makeitlabchannel The voice over is completely fine and wasn't hard to listen to at all. He's just being an a-hole. Always coming from the people who haven't uploaded a single video themselves too.
@@YourComputerExpert thank you lol
@@YourComputerExpert youre wrong. it was trash.
@@billionairemaker Hey, someone else who has never contributed anything to CZcams. Funny how that works
