"Amiga" Ball - Printable bicolor ball with a single-head printer

pinshape

Hello Amiga enthusiasts! Maybe I'm the only one here, but I'm excited to share a geeky realization with all of you. The iconic red and white ball from the "Amiga Boing Demo" by Robert J. Mical (1984) is now available for printing with a single head printer. You can build it without using glue, making it a fun puzzle project! To print, simply duplicate each part twice in white and red. The center parts require only one print job, but both colors are necessary. Don't worry if you're not an Amiga fan; feel free to experiment with different color combinations. Just remember that precision is key when building this intricate design. Ensure your printer is accurately calibrated so the pieces fit together perfectly in the end. If your printer lacks precision, consider printing at 120% (1.2) of the original size for better accuracy. All parts can be printed without support, except one crucial piece: amiga_ball_part06.stl. This part requires special care to print properly without support; rotating it by 180 degrees may help, but results are not guaranteed. Amiga forever! Thank you for your interest in this project.
