Captive Ball with Design

thingiverse

Initially, I employed a method similar to "Ball in Vine" but commenced by shaping an oversized oval rather than a ball. This design flexibility allowed me to vary the trapped layer's shape more effectively. My ZBrush expertise has continually grown as I uncover various tools and techniques within the program, appreciating its smooth manipulation capabilities. On 2/9/14, I split the model into two files (ball and outer) for those who want to use dual extrusion. To print this design, I utilized ReplicatorG for file preparation, a MakerBot Replicator2 with default Replicator 2 slicing settings, and the following specifications: Infill - 10%, Layer Height - 0.200, Shells - 1, Feedrate - 40, Travel Feed - 55, Temperature - 220. A raft with full support was employed during printing. Please exercise patience while removing the support structure as the clearance between the sphere and captive layer is minimal.
